Safety first when swimming outdoors, remember these five "firm decisions"

Whenever the weather is hot, people will think of a sport, which is swimming. But often the swimming pools are almost full at this time, so more people choose to go swimming outdoors. Outdoor swimming is very different from swimming in a venue because there are certain risks. Today, the editor will share some safety precautions for outdoor swimming.

1. One person is determined not to go

After all, outdoor swimming is different from swimming in a swimming pool with a professional manager. If something happens, at least there is someone to call out to. So even if you can't help but go alone, you have to go to a water area where people are swimming. Having someone beside you is an invisible force.

2. Do not swim or dive after drinking.

The paralysis of alcohol can directly affect the brain's command system, causing people to lose consciousness for a short period of time. Although it is a short period of time, it depends on the situation. For example, a car traveling at 100 kilometers per hour can move more than ten meters in half a second. Imagine how dangerous this half second would be if it were an out-of-control car! The probability of death from diving after drinking is extremely high, and it should definitely be taken seriously.

3. Never go into the water during a thunderstorm

The main purpose is to prevent being struck by lightning, but swimming on rainy days feels pretty good too.

4. Never dive into unknown waters. Never dive into unknown waters.

If you don't know the underwater conditions, don't jump or dive, because the water may be shallow or there may be rocks protruding, which can easily cause bruises or more serious injuries. If you must jump in an emergency, be sure to enter the water feet first, or at least enter the water with your body parallel to the water surface.

There may be hidden dangers under the calm water surface, such as undercurrents caused by water plants, etc. Generally speaking, all kinds of reservoirs and artificial lakes have secret passages and outlets for releasing water. They are all underwater. When the flow is large, the suction force is beyond the ability of an individual to resist. Once you are caught in it, it is more dangerous than good.

5. Don’t go swimming when you are too full or too hungry. It is best to exercise one hour after a meal.

In addition to being bad for your health, it can also easily cause cramps, so you should try to avoid this in the water, especially in outdoor waters.
