Precautions for swimming

5. Don't swim in strange waters.

Unfamiliar waters, such as wild reservoirs, lakes and unfamiliar rivers. In unfamiliar waters, you don't know the depth of water, the distribution of underwater stones, weeds and so on. Inadvertently entering the water will increase the probability of drowning accidents.

6. The pressure of water is obviously higher than that of air. Holding your breath and exhaling in water is definitely much more difficult than on land, so beginners should practice the basic essentials of holding your breath and exhaling on land first, and then practice in water. Don't inhale, spit it out at once. You can try to get familiar with holding your breath.
