In recent years, swimming has become very popular with the general public.

I. Common problems during swimming and how to deal with them

1、abdominal pain and bloating

If you swim on an empty stomach or swim immediately after eating, then it is likely that abdominal pain and bloating will occur. What should we do at this time? First of all, we should return to the shore, dry off promptly, followed by some warm water and rest for a while.

2. Tinnitus and ear pain

This phenomenon is often caused by water entering our ears, and this time we just need to drain the water. First, we tilt our head so that the ear on the side of the water is facing downwards, then pull our earlobe down with our fingers and jump on one leg with the same side of the leg to effectively promote the discharge of water.

3. Dizziness

When swimming, if dizziness occurs, it is likely to be caused by the fact that we have been exercising for too long, so that most of our blood is deposited in our lower limbs. At this point we should go ashore to rest, then elevate the feet to promote blood back to the heart and take light saline orally.

4. Eye discomfort

If you find that your eyes are uncomfortable, such as itching and pain, you can use saline to flush our eyes, and then take some eye drops, which can usually be relieved.

5. Cramps

Cramp is a very serious thing when swimming, and if it is in wild water, it may lead to drowning. The first step is to take a deep breath and then float on your back and call for help. Secondly, pull the toe of the cramped leg with the hand on the side of the cramp and pull it inwards while the opposite hand presses on the knee of the cramped leg to help stretch it. The third step is to swim back to the shore, keep warm and rest.

Two, after swimming suitable food to eat

1. Noodles. Taking some smooth pasta after swimming exercise can ensure the absorption of our carbohydrates, which is very helpful for the body's recovery.

2、honey. Honey has very many effects on the human body and can supplement formic acid.

3. Eggs and carrots. These foods are rich in vitamins, which can effectively take care of our skin.
