Before going into the water, do warm-up exercises to avoid sudden and intense activities that may cause muscle strain or other accidents. There are many cases where people suffered cramps after entering the water due to not doing warm-up exercises, so it is important to pay attention to warm-up exercises.

Before entering the water, first understand the water depth and the conditions under the swimming pool to avoid injuries or sudden panic caused by falling into deep water. When diving, you should be especially aware of the underwater conditions and avoid your abdomen hitting the water directly.

If water enters your nose, do not pinch your nose and blow it. This will make it easier for water to enter the Eustachian tube, which may cause severe otitis media.

After swimming, be sure to rinse your whole body with clean water to avoid infectious diseases.

Cold water stimulates the contraction of blood vessels in the skin, preventing heat from diffusing while generating heat, which can dilate blood vessels in the skin and improve blood circulation in the skin.
