Things to note when swimming:

1. Swimming equipment, such as swimsuits, goggles, etc., need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. After each swimming session, you should wash your eyes with clean water and then put a few drops of eye drops. If there is water in the ears, you can tilt your head to the side and jump in place on one leg to let the water flow out.

2. Students are not allowed to swim without the teacher’s consent.

3. Do warm-up exercises before entering the water to avoid discomfort, and only enter the water when a lifeguard is present.

4. People who are sick should not go swimming.

5. Avoid swimming before or after meals. Swimming on an empty stomach will affect appetite and digestive function, and may also cause unexpected situations such as dizziness and fatigue during swimming. Swimming with a full stomach will also affect digestive function, and may cause stomach cramps, and even vomiting and abdominal pain.

6. For safety reasons, beginners should not swim in deep water.

7. No running in the swimming pool area.

11. Don't dive into the shallow side of the swimming pool.

12. Do not bring soda bottles or glassware to the swimming pool to avoid them breaking and hurting your feet.

13. During thunderstorms, leave the swimming pool immediately and seek shelter to avoid being struck by lightning.

14. Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause sun spots or acute dermatitis, also known as sunburn. To prevent sunburn, it is best to use an umbrella to block the sun after going ashore, or rest in the shade of a tree, or use a bath towel to protect your skin, or apply sunscreen to exposed parts of the body.
