After the struggle was ineffective, she chose to lie peacefully on the water

According to the reporter, Mr. Hu, he was passing by the scene and suddenly found an old man floating on his back on the surface of the river. "The old man did not struggle and did not call for help. She hugged her hands on her chest. She appeared calm and her body did not sink. I hurriedly dialed 119."
Later, firemen from the Liling Fire Rescue Brigade rushed to the scene. At that time, the old man was six or seven meters away from the shore. Two firefighters immediately took rescue equipment and went into the water to rescue the conscious old man ashore. Due to the timely rescue, the old man was sent to the hospital and his body was checked.
Yesterday afternoon, the reporter got in touch with Feng Lifen. According to the old man, she was basking in the sun by the Lujiang River. Because there was oil on her hand while eating mooncakes, she went down the steps to wash her hands, but accidentally stepped empty and fell into the water.

"I don't know how to swim. I struggled and called for help at first, and I choked on a few salivas." The old man said, because she had no physical strength, she simply lay on her back in the water, but her body did not sink. Instead, she floated on the water and kept on In this posture, until the firefighter swam to her side.

Three factors help the elderly float successfully
"Mom can't swim at all. At this age, I don't know how she floated on the water. She floated for more than 20 minutes. But anyway, I have to tell the heroic firefighter through the evening paper. Thanks." Feng Lifen's son said.
According to Ning Ao, the commander of the Liling Fire Rescue Brigade, when they arrived, they found that the old man was very relaxed and breathing smoothly, which was very different from the state of ordinary people who fell into the water.
As for why the old man can float on the water, Ning Ao analyzed: “First, the old man did not struggle and did not cry out for help, and the body was completely relaxed; secondly, she wore a down jacket with a certain amount of buoyancy; Physical conditions make it easier to float on the water than adults."

Reflection
In recent years, due to the accelerated implementation of the Healthy China Strategy and other national policies, relevant departments have been promoting the development of mass swimming activities across the country, publicizing and promoting swimming fitness activities, and even many provinces and cities have adopted swimming as a high school entrance examination project. In fact, not only young people should learn to swim, the elderly should also swim more, because swimming is not only a healthy exercise, but also a survival skill. If you accidentally fall into the water and cannot swim, it is very likely to be life-threatening!
Moreover, compared with young people, elderly people who are getting weaker need more exercise. Swimming is more suitable for the elderly. Because the buoyancy of water makes a person's weight in the water lighter, the elderly do not need to spend too much effort to exercise in the water, which is very safe and less harmful.

Heated swimming pool

Because the elderly have poor resistance and are prone to catching colds, especially in autumn and winter, when the temperature drops, it is best not to swim in the outdoor swimming pool, and the indoor heated swimming pool is a good choice, not only can enjoy the fun of swimming exercise, but also can guarantee the body Health, avoid the trouble of wind and cold, kill two birds with one stone. For example, the power fitness swimming pool in Gongyi City, Henan Province uses Aike air source heat pump as the constant temperature heating equipment for the swimming pool. The temperature of the pool water can be maintained at 26 ℃ ~ 28 ℃ throughout the year, thus getting rid of the constraints of external environmental factors.

Compared with traditional coal-fired boilers with high pollution and high energy consumption, AQUA's air source heat pump can absorb heat from the air and can generate a large amount of heat with a small amount of electrical energy input. It is a more energy-saving and environmentally friendly heating method.
AQUA air source heat pump unit adopts intelligent control technology and dynamically detects user load based on fuzzy control principle. After the express reaches the set temperature, the load is dynamically matched and the water temperature is constant. The swimmers in the swimming pool can barely perceive the water temperature change. In addition, in order to reduce the noise generated by the operation of the unit, the AQUA air source swimming pool constant temperature heat pump adopts a suspended shock absorption system and is equipped with a high-efficiency shock absorber. The fan and motor run more smoothly, creating a quiet and decompressed environment for swimmers.

With the construction and development of national green energy, Weinan Sports Center, Zhangping Leyou Swimming Pool, Jinan Evergrande City Ledong Swimming Pool, etc. have all chosen AQUA air source heat pumps as the swimming pool constant temperature equipment. The effect has not only been affirmed by the operators, It has also been recognized by swimmers.
A few days ago, my country announced that it will adopt more powerful policies and measures, strive to reach the peak of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. It shows that renewable energy has become one of the main countermeasures to cope with climate change. At the time when the constant temperature swimming pool is becoming more and more popular, the air source heat pump as one of the clean energy products is bound to usher in further development. AQUA is here looking forward to working with you to achieve a win-win situation and write a new glorious chapter.
