A visit to a pool or water park is both a pleasure and a health benefit. Both adults and children love to swim and take part in games on the water. But at the same time, do not forget that there are safety rules, the observance of which is mandatory even when visiting water attractions.
The benefits of playing on the water
For those who are just learning to swim, especially for children, it is easier to learn the basics and techniques of swimming in indoor pools, under the guidance and supervision of a coach or adults. But before starting the training, you should help the beginner get rid of the fear of water, he must understand that the water element is not hostile to him. In this case, pool games, which are not held in shallow water, would be the best way. Having ceased to be afraid, the child will learn to swim much faster.
For those who already swim well, massive water games will provide an opportunity not only to have fun and demonstrate their ability to stay on the water, but also to give the muscles an additional load. But taking part in such fun fun, do not forget about the rules that will help make mass entertainment on the water as safe as possible, exclude cases of injury or the danger of drowning.
Pool safety
Some pool visitors think that an enclosed body of water is a fairly safe place, they forget that you can drown even at a shallow depth. The degree of danger increases precisely during noisy, fun mass games, implying jumps and dives, as well as the possibility of accidental blows.
Preparation for visiting the pool begins in advance - you should not come there right after a hearty lunch or refresh yourself, lying next to the pool in a sun lounger. Adults who come to rest should completely exclude the use of alcoholic beverages, even beer, both before and during a visit to the pool. It is alcohol, which reduces the sense of danger and causes impaired coordination, that becomes the most frequent cause of accidents while playing on the water.
Control yourself and keep in sight the space around you in the water so that you do not accidentally injure someone who is behind you. Do not make sudden movements and do not dive so as not to hit your head on the tile bottom or to accidentally hit you under water, which can cause a short-term fainting and the fact that you simply do not have time to surface in time. Be especially careful if kids take part in the game, take into account the difference in the preparation of the players.
You should not jump out of the pool in order to run along its side with your bare feet, so you can slip and fall painfully. Stop others if they are going to do it. In the event that you notice that the behavior of one of the players has changed, he felt bad or insecure on the water, stop the game immediately and inquire about his condition.
