Watch River Snags When you swim in rivers, creeks and streams, first look for underwater snares—snags, logs, branches, boulders, or thick weed growth. They can be fatal traps. The old swimming hole can never be taken for granted; rivers change all the time and quickly. The place that was safe yesterday can be dangerous today. Everyone with his own safety and the safety of his loved ones at heart will want to learn more about water safety. Booklets about water safety and safety in small boats can be obtained free of charge by writing to the National Water Safety Committee, Department of Internal Affairs, Private Bag, Wellington. The Committee will also send a free leaflet about rescue breathing, the simplest and most effective method of reviving people who have apparently drowned, to those who ask for it.
