Rules for bathers
The simple and easy-to-remember rules of conduct of the SSS-Società Svizzera di Salvataggio (Swiss Rescue Society) are aimed at all people moving in, out and on the water.
Rule 1: children under control
Do not leave children unattended near water. Keep small children under control, within reach.
Rule 2: no alcohol or drugs, eating in a balanced way
Never enter the water under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Never swim on a full or completely empty stomach.
Rule 3: don't dive in sweat
Do not dive sweaty into the water: the body must gradually get used to it.
Rule 4: dive into safe waters
Do not dive into murky or unknown waters: unknown situations present dangers.
Rule 5: use inflatable objects in shallow water
Mattresses and inflatable auxiliary objects for swimming should not be used in deep water: they give no safety.
Rule 6: swim in company
Do not swim long distances alone; even the best-trained body can suffer weaknesses.
