The Bashkiria Ministry of Emergency Situations explained why it is dangerous to swim in May. According to the department, the water has not yet warmed up, so you can get cold shock or cramps and drown; divers have not yet examined the bottom, so you can run into dangerous objects; there is a strong current and whirlpools in the water; and there are no lifeguards or doctors on duty on the shore.
Rescuers urge people not to swim in unequipped places, not to go into the water while intoxicated, to keep an eye on children near water bodies, and to wait until the opening of the swimming season - June 1.
