What are the precautions for swimming for the first time?

Because people like to play in the swimming pool in the hot summer, whether you can swim or not, we all need to learn some useful precautions and taboos to ensure our personal safety when swimming in the pool. The following editor will sort out some precautions for swimming for the first time, as well as some methods to prevent lower limb cramps when swimming. Let’s take a look with the editor below!

What are the precautions for beginners in swimming?

1. Learning to swim requires a coach. The coach doesn’t necessarily have to be a good swimmer. The key is to have a good reputation and be close to you! So it's best to get an introduction from a friend, or go to the swimming pool you want to go to and find a coach.

2. Choose a swimming pool that is close to you, because learning to swim is a process, and this process is difficult to stick to. If the swimming pool is far from home or far from work, it will not be conducive to maintaining your enthusiasm for learning to swim.

3. Beginners should never go to the reservoir to learn swimming, it is too dangerous! Even with protective tools such as a tailgating bug, accidents are likely to happen.

4. Choose a good swimming pool. Generally, it is best to train early in the morning. At that time, there will be fewer people in the swimming pool, making it easier to practice. On the other hand, the water is also relatively cleaner. Beginners may drink a lot of water, so make the water as clean as possible.

5. There are many videos teaching swimming on the Internet. You can search for some videos for reference! But in the end, practice is still needed! People who are good at swimming can learn swimming quickly, so it’s a good idea to spend more time in the swimming pool whenever you have time.

6. When washing your face in the morning and evening, you can put your face in a basin of water and practice holding your breath.

7. Be sure to have a friend who can swim, or someone who can keep a cool head, by your side so that they can provide you with help or call for help when you are in danger. Keeping your life is more important than anything else.

8. Don’t practice alone without a partner just because you know how to swim. It is very dangerous to practice alone before you can swim stably, and you may suffer accidents such as choking and drowning.

How to prevent lower limb cramps while swimming

1. Be sure to do warm-up exercises before swimming.

2. Consider your physical condition before swimming. Do not swim if you are too full, too hungry or overly tired.

3. Before swimming, splash some water on your limbs and then jump into the water. Do not jump into the water immediately.

4. If you have chest pain while swimming, you can press your chest hard and wait until you feel better before going ashore. If you have abdominal pain, you should go ashore. It is best to drink some hot drinks or hot soup to keep your body warm.

5. Do not swim in canyons where the geographical environment is unclear. The water in these places varies in depth and is cold. There may be obstacles in the water that may cause harm, so it is very unsafe.

From this we can learn that ensuring our personal safety when swimming is a very important task. Through the above explanation, I hope everyone can have a happy summer. It is worth reminding that children should swim under the supervision of adults, and those who cannot swim must not go into the water blindly.
