Prioritizing Water Safety
Safety in water is paramount for both beginners and seasoned swimmers. At Go Swim Istanbul on the European side, we make water safety an integral part of our teaching.
Water Safety Essentials:
- Buddy System: Never swim alone. Even experienced swimmers should have a buddy nearby in case of emergencies.
- Know Your Limits: Understand your swimming capabilities and do not push beyond them without proper training and supervision.
- Learn Survival Skills: Techniques like treading water, floating, and signaling for help can save lives.
- Respect Water Conditions: Be aware of currents, water depth, and weather conditions, especially in open water.
