What should you pay attention to when swimming?

Summer is here, and the scorching hot weather is really irritating. Swimming is a good way to relieve the heat and relax. Swimming can exercise the body, which is beneficial for everyone to strengthen their body and cool down in the summer. It is a perfect sport for leisure and heat relief. However, safety issues when swimming cannot be ignored. I will not give you examples of tragic swimming accidents here. So what should we pay attention to to ensure safety when swimming?

Here are a few things to keep in mind when swimming:

1. Don't swim alone. Do not go swimming alone, especially children should be under adult supervision. There are other people around to take care of you if a drowning accident occurs.

2. It is not advisable to swim before or after meals. Swimming before meals will make you feel tired and easily collapse. Swimming after a meal with a full stomach can easily cause vomiting. Anyway, swimming before or after a meal will cause physical discomfort, so it is best to go swimming 2 hours after a meal.

3. Bring a swimming ring. For places with deeper waters or friends who are not very good at swimming, please remember to bring auxiliary tools such as swimming rings. If you are tired of swimming, you can use them to rest. In case of danger, there are life-saving tools!

4. Swimming time should not be too long. Soaking in water for too long will make you feel very uncomfortable, so swimming should not be too long, make sure it is within 2 hours.

5. Do not swim during menstruation. For women, the body's resistance is weak during menstruation. Swimming will allow bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. Therefore, female friends should not swim during menstruation.

6. Do not swim in unfamiliar waters. In unfamiliar waters, you have no idea of ​​the water depth, the distribution of underwater rocks, weeds, etc. If you go into the water carelessly, the probability of drowning accidents will increase.

Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned matters, we should also pay attention to hygiene issues. Swimming in unhygienic swimming pools, streams, lakes and the like can easily lead to infectious diseases. People with high blood pressure, heart disease and the like should not go swimming to avoid accidents. I wish you all a cool summer.
