(Baonghean.vn) - On hot days, Lam River becomes an ideal "bathing beach" for many people. However, bathing at spontaneous beaches will pose many risks.

| Some river ports have been designated as safe areas by local youth union members and youths with markers or buoys, so people can swim quite comfortably. Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| However, due to the prolonged heat, the Lam River has dried up, so the bathing space at the riverbanks has been expanded, making it difficult to determine the safety level. Therefore, people not wearing life jackets may be in danger if they get cramps or encounter strong currents. Photo: Huy Thu |

| In places where safety buoys have been installed, children aged 2-3 years old are also taken by their families to Lam River to bathe. In the photo: A child in Thanh Giang commune (Thanh Chuong) is taken by his father to bathe at Phuong wharf. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Choosing flat, safe riverbanks and wearing life jackets for a cool swim are top priorities. People should avoid riverbanks, river sections that have been drained of sand, have strong currents or have whirlpools... Photo: Huy Thu |

| As dusk falls over the river, people still don't want to leave. For people living along the Lam River, swimming in the river on a hot day "is no different from going to Cua Lo beach". Photo: Huy Thu |
