1. The amount of swimming exercise should be moderate. Some people swim until they are exhausted, which is not good for fitness and may even cause some adverse effects on the body. Don't swim for too long. Generally speaking, long-term swimming can cause tachycardia and muscle strain, leading to a series of uncomfortable symptoms such as dizziness and chest tightness.

2. The water temperature should be appropriate. Choose a suitable swimming place and time, as well as a suitable water temperature, avoid unnecessary risks, and do not swim in the sun for long periods of time. If you feel a little tired while swimming, you should stop swimming.

3. Don’t stay in the water for too long. After staying in the water for a certain period of time, the blood flow on the body surface expands, the skin turns from pale to light red, and the skin turns from cold to warm; if you stay in the water for too long, the heat dissipation of the body temperature is greater than the heat generation, and goose bumps and chills appear on the skin. For patients with cardiovascular disease, these reactions can cause dramatic changes in the amount of blood returning to the heart, a stimulus that can be fatal.

Finally, rinse your whole body with clean water after swimming. If you are in an open-air swimming pool, it is best to rest in the shade after getting out of the water, apply sunscreen on exposed parts of your body, and wrap yourself in a bath towel to protect your skin. Replenish water and energy in a timely and appropriate manner, pay attention to monitoring blood pressure and heart rate, and get adequate rest.
