About this app

A leg cramp in deep water. A child who swallowed water. A jellyfish sting.

Swim Safety Guide puts the right response two taps away, even when you are too rattled to think clearly.

Everything is stored inside the app, so it works on a beach with no signal or in a basement pool with no reception.


■ 15 situations, 6 categories

• Muscles: leg cramp, shoulder and arm cramp
• Breathing and circulation: hyperventilation, first response to drowning
• Ears, eyes, nose: ear pain from pressure, eye irritation and redness, nosebleed
• Body temperature: hypothermia, heatstroke
• Skin and wounds: scrapes and cuts, jellyfish sting, blisters
• Children: a child who swallowed water, calming a panicking child, a lost child


■ Every situation follows the same four steps

1. Recognize it: check points that confirm this is what you are dealing with
2. Act now: numbered action cards to follow in order
3. Do not do this: common mistakes and myths corrected
4. When to call emergency services: if even one applies, call immediately


■ Main features

• Fully offline: every feature works with no network connection
• Checklist mode: tap each action step to check it off and keep your place
• One-tap emergency call: pinned to the bottom of every situation screen, it dials your country's emergency number (911, 112, 999 …) and turns red when a warning sign applies
• Favorites: keep the situations you check most at the top of the home screen
• Search: find a situation by symptom, such as cramp, nosebleed or jellyfish
• Daily safety reminder: one short water safety tip a day, and you can turn it off in settings
• Large type and clear color coding, built to be read in a hurry


■ Sources you can trust

The content is based on first aid guidance published by public agencies and professional bodies such as the Korean Red Cross and the National Fire Agency, rewritten so anyone can follow it. Each situation screen shows its source, and the full reference list is in settings.


■ Made for

• Parents at the pool, the water park or the beach with children
• Swim instructors, camp leaders and anyone supervising a group in the water
• First time beachgoers and people who swim alone
