The dangers of outdoor swimming

Swimming is a sport that is very beneficial to physical and mental health. People who swim for a long time will have stronger myocardial function than those who do not swim, and their body shape will be more even. Usually people swim in swimming pools and other places. Some people choose to swim in the wild, which is a very dangerous behavior. After all, wild swimming places are not formal, and the water quality will contain a large number of bacteria, and there are some unknown dangers. Here is a detailed introduction to the hazards of swimming in the wild.

1. There are many unknown factors in wild waters, and swimmers often do not understand the conditions of the waters they are in. Some waters may seem calm, but there are often whirlpools and undercurrents underwater, which can easily lead to accidents.

2. There are few people in the wild, and once unexpected situations such as physical exhaustion occur, it is difficult to get rescue in the first time.

3. The water quality in the wild is also quite polluted. You will inevitably drink water when swimming, which is harmful to your body. People with allergies are not suitable for swimming in such waters.

Notes for outdoor swimming:

1. Never let your children go swimming in the wild during the summer vacation. If they go, they must be accompanied by their parents! And bring life-saving tools.

2. One person must not go. Swimming in the wild is not like swimming in a swimming pool that is managed by a professional staff. If something happens, it will be troublesome if there is no one to call out to. So we have to ask a few people who are good at swimming to accompany us.

3. Before going into the water, be sure to do warm-up exercises and stimulate your body with water before going into the water. This can avoid leg cramps after going into the water and help you adapt to the water temperature more quickly.

4. The water temperature in the wild is layered. In summer, the water on the surface is warmer, but it may be cooler as you go deeper, and it will feel colder as you go deeper. This is the main cause of leg cramps, so remember not to dive in deep water.

5. When drowning, don't panic. First, stay calm, turn your back mouth upwards, expose your nose above the water, breathe quickly, and then wait for rescue from people on the shore. Don't struggle desperately!
