On June 5, the Friendly Regatta together with the School of Safety on Water held the first class for the participants of the Young Navigators Academy dedicated to water safety. Organizing family and children's regattas, we pay special attention to ensuring that sea travel is not only rich, informative and exciting, but also safe.
To learn the basics of safety and practice new skills, seven children, participants of our regattas, came. The lesson for them was conducted by the author of the program Sergey Kovalev, a traumatologist, a first aid instructor of the National Resuscitation Council, a multiple participant in international rescue operations, an international rescuer with 20 years of experience in the Centrospas detachment of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.
During an hour and a half class, children jumped into the water in the sidewalk, learned to swim in wet clothes and shoes, overcome panic. At the command of the instructor, they bravely climbed a conventional raft, helped others climb, dived under obstacles, dived deep into the water, collecting objects. In addition, they worked out exercises on swimming in a life jacket, grouping and rest to save energy, lay in the stars, passed collective exercises in a common coupling, supported each other, distributed loads and much more – all this is part of the unique program “School of Safety on the Water”, developed and conducted specifically for the Friendly Regatta and the Academy of Young Navigators, which has no analogues in Russia.
Water safety classes for children are held on a periodic basis, follow the announcements on the website and in our social networks.
