Muscat: The Coast Guard Police in South Al Batinah saved two kids from drowning. In an online statement, the Royal Oman Police (ROP) on Sunday said two children were about to drown while swimming in the wilayat of Barka.
According to ROP, the two boys were transferred to the hospital after they received the necessary first aids.
Meanwhile, ROP has called on parents to be vigilant as much as possible when taking their children to sea, wadis, swimming and water pools.
In most of the cases, the victims were children due to the result of negligence and lack of supervision by guardians. It is reported that many of them either attempted to cross the swamps of water or running wadis or were playing in the swimming pools in farms and rest houses without knowing the danger involved resulting in loss of lives. Other reasons are swimming in undesignated areas such as dams, water channels and water-logged areas, leaving children unattended near water surfaces, and non-abidance by the safety instructions urged by the CDAA.
