My view is that people working on water should wear light clothing or buoyancy aids. Those working with swans or large animals or birds should have protective clothing and a means of summoning help with an emergency buzzer on pendants or brooches like the ones given to elderly people. Another source of aid might be some kind of scaring device such as a loud noise to frighten off attacking birds or animals.
