What safety knowledge should you know about swimming in summer?

Now the hot summer is coming soon. I believe that one of everyone’s favorite things to do in summer is to go swimming at the beach. Not only can you eat fresh seafood at the beach, but you can also swim in the cool sea water. Swimming while enjoying the beautiful scenery is a very good enjoyment, but it also means certain dangers. In recent years, many people have died at the beach, so we must learn the safety knowledge of swimming to protect ourselves well. So what safety knowledge do we need to know about swimming in summer? Let me introduce it to you today.

Swimming is a very beneficial sport in summer. It can not only achieve the purpose of physical exercise, but also relieve the heat and cool down, and make the body and mind happy. The most important thing about swimming in summer is safety, which should not be taken lightly. Generally, you need to pay attention to the following issues when participating in swimming:

Swimmers should undergo necessary physical examinations and prepare necessary equipment according to their own conditions, such as goggles, life buoys, etc. You should warm up on land before going into the water to avoid discomfort such as cramps. It is not advisable to swim after a full meal or drinking, when you are in poor physical condition or overly tired. It is generally better to go swimming one hour after a meal, and the swimming time should generally not exceed two hours.

Whether you choose an indoor swimming pool, pool, or natural open waters, you must first understand the water conditions, especially natural waters. You must be clear about the water depth and whether there is silt, aquatic plants, reefs, jellyfish, etc. underwater. Beginners should not swim in deep water; avoid chasing or pushing anyone into the pool to avoid slipping and getting injured or falling into the pool; make sure there is no one nearby when diving; do not push others into the water or dive for a long time when playing in the water to avoid suffocation; if you find cramps, go ashore and rest immediately. If you are bringing children to swim, you must supervise them and it is best to swim with them. When swimming, if you encounter an accident or danger, you should promptly and loudly ask for help from the lifeguard and people around you, and raise your hands to attract the attention of the lifeguard. Don't get into trouble because of being stubborn or too embarrassed to call for help. In addition, children are not allowed to swim or play on the beach without their parents' consent; when swimming, they should choose swimming pools and beaches with lifeguards on duty; swimming is absolutely not allowed in places with dirty or dangerous water, and children are not allowed to play there. If a red flag is hoisted on the beach, it means there is a dangerous storm. Even people with good swimming skills should not risk swimming. Do not swim too far from the coast to avoid strong currents that may push swimmers to unsafe places or leave them without enough strength to swim back to the shore.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the safety knowledge of summer swimming. Summer is coming. If you want to go swimming, you should first learn about swimming safety knowledge. This way we can better protect our health by being prepared.
