With summer at its peak and beaches crowded, the Riva del Garda Firefighters have issued a call for water safety, highlighting two fundamental rules to follow during water activities. In a statement released on August 15th, experts warn that the first entry into the water should be gradual, as temperatures can vary significantly between the surface and the bottom of lakes. This precaution is essential to avoid potentially dangerous thermal shocks.
Furthermore, the firefighters recommend never swimming alone, suggesting that individuals should always stay in the company of others or use a buoy for support. This second rule is often overlooked and poses a significant risk to the safety of swimmers. The Firefighters therefore urge everyone to pay attention to these simple yet crucial guidelines to ensure a safe experience on the waters of the Lake Garda.
