As the weather grows hotter, children have more chances to be around water. To build correct water-safety awareness, our school invited the Changhua County Water Lifesaving Association to run a water-safety course for our fifth-graders, with lively, professional instruction on the hidden dangers of water and how to respond in an emergency.
The instructor introduced common water environments — rivers, ponds, irrigation canals, and the sea — and reminded students to only swim at safe places with lifeguards, never in unfamiliar or unguarded waters. Students learned the five-step rescue mnemonic for when someone falls in: Call (shout for help), Call (ask others to dial 119), Reach (extend a pole or object), Throw (toss a float or rope), and Row (use a boat or floating object).
Most importantly: never rush into the water to save someone yourself — protecting your own life matters too. Through vivid explanations and real cases, the students listened attentively and joined in eagerly, gaining a deeper understanding of water safety.
A simple summer-safety rhyme to remember: check the environment, go with a buddy, have your equipment, and know how to call for help. Thank you to the Changhua County Water Lifesaving Association for their professional sharing — swimming can be fun, but safety always comes first!
隨著天氣逐漸炎熱，孩子們接觸水域與戲水活動的機會也越來越多。為了讓學生建立正確的水域安全觀念，本校特別邀請彰化縣水上救生協會蒞校辦理「水域安全宣導課程」，透過專業且生動的講解，讓五年級孩子們更了解水域潛藏的危險，以及遇到突發狀況時的正確應變方式。🛟🚨
課程中，講師以淺顯易懂的方式，向同學們介紹各種常見的水域環境，例如河川、池塘、水圳與海邊等，並提醒大家戲水時一定要選擇安全、有救生員的場所，千萬不要到陌生或沒有安全措施的水域玩水。
當遇到有人不慎落水時，該怎麼辦呢？講師教導同學們「叫、叫、伸、拋、划」五字口訣：📣 叫——大聲呼救引起注意；📞 叫——請旁人幫忙打 119 求救；🪵 伸——利用長竿或物品伸給落水者；🪢 拋——拋出浮具或繩子協助；🚣 划——利用船隻或漂浮物救援。最重要的是，不要貿然下水救人，保護自己也是非常重要的一件事。
🌞 夏日戲水安全小口訣：👀 看環境、👫 要結伴、🛟 有裝備、📣 會求救。感謝彰化縣水上救生協會的專業分享，讓學生們學習到寶貴的水域安全知識。戲水可以很快樂，但安全一定要第一！💙
