Where can you strive to go on a summer day if not to the nearest body of water? But no matter how hot the sun is and no matter how tempting the water is, you shouldn't forget about some things. Even in such relaxing environment.

It will be also useful to grab another swimsuit or swimming trunks if you are going to swim and not just sunbathe.

And you should also enter the water gradually, enabling your body to get used to the coolness.

Swimming too long is not the most useful activity as you can overcool your body. It is better to spend no more than a quarter of an hour in water, after which to take at least a half-hour break. And in general, it is better to increase the time spent on the beach gradually: on the first day of the season stay there for half an hour, on the next day a bit longer etc.

By the way, it is precisely because of the sun that it is recommended to use a towel after swimming: water drops on our skin work like lenses.

After swimming many people have just a ravenous appetite but it is better to satisfy hunger with some light food - for example, salad, okroshka, a low-fat piece of cold meat or just vegetables, fruit (washed!). And it is better to leave the desired barbecue for an early dinner.

And, of course, no alcohol on the beach! Fizzy drinks also need to be avoided as they will not quench your thirst. Drink lemonade, fruit drink, iced tea, bottled water. And it is desirable that all this is not icy: the chance of catching a cold increases when it is hot outside and cold inside.

No matter how great you are in swimming, water doesn't forgive carelessness. Therefore:

Swim only in permitted places! A body of water can have a polluted bottom and whirlpools. Stagnant water might be full of various malignant bacteria.
