What should you pay attention to before swimming?

Summer is here, and everyone likes to put on cool swimsuits and swim a few laps in the swimming pool to cool down and relieve the heat. However, while relieving the heat is one thing, you still need to pay attention to the things you should pay attention to. Many people may not understand what they should pay attention to when swimming. They think that swimming a few laps in the pool is enough and there is nothing to pay attention to. In fact, this is not the case. Now the editor will tell readers in detail what you should pay attention to in the swimming pool.

First of all, from the perspective of being responsible for oneself and others, people with serious heart disease, epilepsy, high blood pressure and other diseases, as well as infectious diseases and skin diseases should not participate in swimming, because swimming may aggravate the condition or transmit the disease to others.

Secondly, choose appropriate swimsuits, swimming trunks and swimming caps according to your personal body characteristics. Swimsuits and swimming trunks that are too large may increase resistance during swimming and affect swimming movements, while those that are too tight will affect comfort. According to your personal swimming level, choose swimming goggles, earplugs, nose clips, floating objects and other sports accessories to help you adapt to the water environment and improve athletic performance.

In addition, swimming requires whole-body movement, and in a water environment, heat is lost quickly. Therefore, the human body consumes a lot of energy when swimming. Before swimming, you should consume enough carbohydrates such as rice, noodles, bread, and some protein substances such as eggs and meat.

Be careful not to be too hungry or too full. Swimming after eating too much will affect the digestive function and may cause stomach cramps, or even vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms. If you swim on an empty stomach, the body will not have enough energy storage, and you may suffer from hypoglycemia, dizziness and fatigue. It is recommended to swim 1 to 3 hours after a meal. Finally, and very importantly, warm-up exercises are essential before you start swimming.

It seems that there are really a lot of rules in this small swimming pool, but everyone must not ignore them because they are too troublesome. Complying with swimming pool rules is not only a respect for others, but also a reflection of your own quality. At the same time, doing some warm-up exercises before going into the water is a way to protect your own life. The editor here wishes everyone a happy summer.
