Swimming With Precaution In Pools And Open Sea

By Mary Baker


Whether it is for recreational or competitive means, swimming is a healthy activity that helps one build up stamina and endurance plus developing a good cardiovascular condition. However, like most physical activities swimming can also be dangerous. One of the factors for most cases of drowning is the environment. Unlike in Oklahoma City swimming pools, where there are life guards on duty. Most of the beaches that people visit and swim do not have the assurance of professional swimmers that are trained to handle different situations.

The sea is vast and unpredictable in terms of environment and local wildlife. Although it provides more space for one to swim unlike swimming pools that could really crowded, but there the environment, such as the unpredictable current can pose as a threat for new swimmers. Who just learned to float in the surface.

When it comes to supervision, children must at all times be guided regardless if their playing in a mini pool or making sand castles by the shore, because the environment might be unpredictable, but so as the child playful mind. Easily lured by new things they could wonder off to danger without proper supervision.

Though supervision is still needed but it will be less in comparison to the sea. Also most swimming pools have professional life guards on the watch. Equipped with basic safety and rescue measures, to assure people that if there are incident it will be prevented from causing any permanent damage.

However most of them encounter a different threat one associated with aquatic predators. In most instances predators such as sharks would avoid any kinds of encounter with a person, but like all animals with instincts, when they sense threat, they will defend themselves and attack.

And not to mention the wildlife living in their natural habitat. Most of the time these wildlife will avoid human contact, for the reason that they fear us more than we fear them, however, in instances when they are back down to a wall and threaten, their defense mechanism is to attack anyone who threatens them in their own territory.

Wild life that could easily mistake your casual swimming to an intrusion in their aquatic territory, unlike in movies most of the time aquatic predator will avoid any encounter with any person. However, in instances when they think that you are actually bringing threat into their territory, like every other animal with instincts they will attack you.

Some pool establishments do not regularly change the water itself. Considering the number of individuals using the same water at the same time which can cause the water to be unsafe or worse to be contaminated.

Professional swimmers in times when pools are occupied with recreational swimming, they tend to practice in the open sea. But knowing of how unpredictable it can get, they do look take precautions. But even though the ocean is unpredictable it is also beautiful with the rich numbers of corals and diverse species it is a good place to take summer vacations. However, always take precautions and for the children extra supervision, because unlike adults they are unaware of how dangerous the sea could get.
