The Caspian Sea prepares for an influx of tourists: how to ensure safe recreation on the water in summer 2025
The azure waters and golden beaches of the Caspian Sea will become a magnet for thousands of vacationers with the arrival of the summer season 2025. However, behind the attractive facade of seaside recreation lurks a potential danger - the risk of drowning remains a serious threat, especially in places not equipped for safe swimming.
The main safety rule - choose for swimming exclusively zones with lifeguards on duty. It is strongly not recommended to swim beyond the restrictive buoys, where treacherous currents or unexpected depths may be hiding. Parents should take care of life jackets for children even in shallow water, where sudden waves can create a dangerous situation.
Specialists warn: alcohol and water activities are incompatible. Statistics show that a significant number of accidents on the water are associated precisely with impaired coordination after consuming alcohol. Experts recommend abstaining from swimming for at least 24 hours after consuming alcohol. It is equally important to consider weather conditions - in windy weather, sea turbulence increases, which significantly increases risks.
In a critical situation, the main thing is to keep your cool. If you find yourself in danger, turn onto your back and concentrate on steady breathing until help arrives. Witnesses to the incident should remember: self-rescue of a drowning person is extremely dangerous - use improvised rescue equipment, such as a long stick or a life ring.
Following these simple recommendations will help you enjoy a safe and carefree vacation on the picturesque coast of the Caspian this summer.
