Abstract
Basics of self-rescue skills in the water mainly appear in advanced stage of swimming lessons in the Czech Republic, at time when children already know how to swim at least one swimming technique. We believe that, as in many developed countries, these skills should be part of the preparatory and elementary stage of swimming lessons.
It is possible to teach small children - non-swimmers - at least some skills that they can use in an emergency to save their lives in the water.
