安全游泳至關(guān)重要。即使你在游泳館里，周?chē)芯壬鷨T，你也需要盡你所能來(lái)確保你在水中的安全。以下是幾條重要的安全提示。

1.閱讀提示標(biāo)牌。尋找張貼在游泳區(qū)周?chē)奶崾緲?biāo)牌，并花時(shí)間仔細(xì)閱讀所有內(nèi)容。遵守標(biāo)牌上寫(xiě)的安全規(guī)定。

2.不要跑。切勿在游泳池周?chē)寂?。游泳池周?chē)牡孛婧軡?，也非?；绻悴恍⌒?，?huì)很容易受傷。

3.跳水前請(qǐng)先看一下。有些游泳池嚴(yán)格禁止跳入水中，而有些游泳池則允許跳入水中。如果游泳池允許且你想嘗試跳進(jìn)去，請(qǐng)始終環(huán)顧四周，確保不會(huì)傷害已經(jīng)在游泳池中的任何人。

4.僅在安全區(qū)域游泳。最好在有救生員監(jiān)督的地方游泳。沒(méi)有人能預(yù)料危險(xiǎn)。如果出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題，救生員可以及時(shí)救援。

5.和伙伴一起。有人陪伴是確保游泳安全的好方法。如果你不確定自己的游泳能力，請(qǐng)讓更有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的游泳者在你旁邊，這樣可以以防萬(wàn)一。

6.不要過(guò)度。要實(shí)事求是，始終保持在你的游泳能力范圍內(nèi)。當(dāng)你游得舒暢時(shí)，盡可能用力地游并游得遠(yuǎn)些，如果你覺(jué)得累了，就停下來(lái)休息。

7.多補(bǔ)充水分。游完泳很容易脫水，特別是出汗時(shí)。補(bǔ)充水分可以防止脫水。頭暈眼花或惡心可能是脫水的征兆。
