Polish police water patrols rescue dozens across lakes and beaches

police water patrol lake rescues drowning incidents exotic snakes water safety

Police water units, known as “wodniacy”, have been active on Polish lakes and beaches this summer, responding to a range of emergencies. They towed a six‑person boat with a failed engine to safety on Zalew Koronowski, and regularly patrol other water sites, checking vessel equipment, sobriety of operators and compliance with safety regulations.

Rescue actions include reviving a 17‑year‑old who drowned in Lake Lidzbark, locating and hospitalising a missing 37‑year‑old man with the help of the police dog Sab, and saving a 31‑year‑old man after a delayed ambulance response was investigated. Over 30 participants of a sailing camp were rescued after a storm capsized five sailboats on Lake Seksty; one teenager was hospitalised with a shoulder injury. Police officer Marta Wiśniewska rescued three people – a boy, a woman and a man – from Lake Skorzęcin. On a beach in Piotrków Trybunalski, police intervened when a woman entered the water with two royal pythons, securing the snakes and ordering her to return home.

These operations illustrate coordinated police efforts to prevent drownings, enforce water‑safety rules and address unusual incidents at recreational water sites throughout Poland.
