In fact, the only legal water play area regulated by Taoyuan City is the "Yuneixi Hot Spring Play Area". No wild streams outside this area are open to the public. The "Yuneixi Hot Spring Play Area" is equipped with legal lifeguards and is well managed. If it rains upstream, there will be dedicated personnel to monitor it. If the stream water surges, A control line will be pulled out, and all personnel must leave the water. For safety reasons, it is not advisable to play in other wild streams or waters in the city. Especially in Fuxing District, most streams or seemingly calm deep pools may have hidden whirlpools. People who do not know the nature of water can easily get stuck in them and be unable to escape, leading to drowning.
As the summer vacation for schools at all levels is about to begin, Chen Yuanxin, the captain of the local Fuxing Fire Brigade, called on "it is okay to play in water but it must be safe" and promoted the "Ten Tips to Prevent Drowning" as follows:
Be legal: The water play location must be legal and must have life-saving equipment and personnel.
Warm up: do warm-up exercises before entering the water. When the water temperature is low, you need to adapt to the water temperature.
Be careful: lakes and streams have large gradients, so swim with extreme caution.
Pay attention to the weather: pay attention to weather trends and do not go into the water when the weather is bad (such as after a typhoon or heavy rain).
What to wear: Wear appropriate swimwear. Do not wear jeans that easily absorb water and become heavy.
Don’t be alone: Don’t be alone and pay attention to the status of your companions at all times.
No diving: Dangerous actions such as diving or diving are strictly prohibited.
No playing: Do not play or play tricks in the water.
Not for a long time: Do not soak in the water for a long time. If you feel tired or hypothermic, go ashore immediately.
Don’t be alone: Again, we emphasize the need to work together to take care of each other.
