Summer has long since come, but before a full-fledged vacation is still far away. But suddenly there are a few free days. You can spend them at home on the couch, and you can organize yourself and your loved ones a more active vacation. For example, it can be a trip to the lake. With tents, fishing rods and a camping pot. The idea is tempting, but it is necessary to think through and provide for a great number of things.

Familiarize yourself with the weather forecast for the next few days. And even if it promises you warmth and sunshine, be sure to bring warm and changeable clothes. The weather can change every half an hour, and you are not going to freeze and get wet, but to rest. If you are taking small children with you, take several sets of change of clothes.

Make a list of all the items, food and clothing you need for your trip. Reread what you have written. There are bound to be a few unnecessary items that will still take up a lot of space in your car or backpack.

The things you should definitely take:

• drinking water;
• unbreakable utensils;
• sporks or a lighter;
• a flashlight;
• hygiene products;
• peroxide, iodine, or potassium permanganate;
• caps or hats to protect from the sun;
• medicines against mosquitoes, which will be especially relevant near water.
• Mosquito repellent

If you are going to not only sunbathe and swim, but to fish, prepare rods, bait and bait in advance. Gathering all this at the last moment, you risk forgetting something. Fishing is a very quiet, thoughtful, but at the same time gambling kind of vacation. If you decide to devote part of your vacation to fishing, you can do it only in authorized places. Otherwise, fishing can end up with a fine.

Swimming is also recommended only on equipped beaches, where there is a lifeguard post, and the bottom of the reservoir is checked by divers.

Should remember the rules of behavior on the water:

• do not swim in water, the temperature of which is below 17 degrees — hypothermia is dangerous convulsions, respiratory arrest and even loss of consciousness;
• do not go into the water in a state of alcohol intoxication

.

• it is better to go into the water several times for 15-20 minutes, than to sit in it for an hour without staying out

.

• keep a close eye on your children, even when they are on the beach — it takes a few seconds for a child to jump in the water;
• don’t let children swim into deep water, even if they are excellent swimmers;
• Don’t trust your child’s safety to an inflatable life preserver or vest. Be vigilant, even if the child does not part with these things.

.

Remember that the key to a successful trip to the lake is not only proper preparation, but also compliance with safety rules. The quality and result of your vacation is in your hands.
