Sungai Aare in Bern, Switzerland is a common location for swimming. Even so, safety when swimming there must also be considered.
Seen by detikcom from the bern.com site, there are at least 7 tourist mistakes when swimming in the Aare River. Since this is a popular tourist location in the middle of the city, many neglect safety and consider swimming here to be just like in a swimming pool.
Here are 7 mistakes to avoid when swimming in the Aare River:
1. Letting the kids swim alone
The Aare River is often visited by people of all ages. But this river is not friendly to all people, especially children who must be accompanied by adults.
2. Jump straight into the river
The water temperature of the Aare River is certainly different from the temperature of the human body. People need to adapt to the temperature of the water before swimming.
If our body temperature is hot or sweaty because of the hot sun, we need time to equalize the temperature with river water. In addition, directly jumping from a height is also dangerous for those who are not used to it.
3. Dive to an unknown location
Humans are often curious about things they don’t know. But make sure on the Aare River, travelers don’t force their way into places that aren’t clear, such as rock formations or muddy hidden locations.
4. Swim alone
Make sure the traveler does not swim alone in the Aare River. Stay in closely spaced groups. Even if the traveler feels fit, they may suddenly experience cramps or fatigue.
5. Feel completely safe with swimming aids
Tourists often bring inflatable mattresses and other fun swimming aids. But remember, it is not completely safe to use in the deep Aare River.
6. Ride a rubber boat without safety
In addition to swimming, tourists can also ride inflatable boats on the Aare River. Starting January 1, 2020, everyone who uses an inflatable boat must wear a life jacket or tires in case of an incident.
7. Drink alcohol before swimming
Alcohol and swimming is a bad combination. If you want to drink alcohol should be done after swimming.
