Here are some tips for young people who are preparing to spend a day at the beach or want to go swimming in the pool. Swimming is fun, but it's always best to be sure you bring everything you need!
Steps
Step 1. Eat a good, hearty meal
Hunger is definitely something you don't want to take in the water with you. Eat at least an hour before leaving the house, and ideally two hours before entering the water. Eat foods that contain nutrients and calories, but not heavy, and don't mix foods that are difficult for you to digest. If you intend to swim in the afternoon, perhaps it is best to wait for a snack after swimming, which will encourage you to complete the exercise even more with momentum.
Step 2. Get a bag large enough to hold everything you need
Better a plastic bag, preferably waterproof.
Step 3. Choose the swimsuit to wear in the water and the clothes you will wear later
Sometimes it is practical to already wear the swimsuit under the clothes you go to the pool in, but don't do it if you have to spend many hours. It is certainly possible and practical to change in the changing room or in the swimming pool bathrooms.
Step 4. Get some shampoo and conditioner
In particular, the water treated with chlorine must be washed carefully so that it does not make the hair dry and damaged. Wash and hydrate them immediately after you get out of the pool.
Step 5. Bring a couple of towels, or a bathrobe
An extra towel never hurts, particularly if one falls on the floor in common areas, and many establishments do not provide towels to customers, except in the case of the most expensive services and the most exclusive environments. If you do not have a suitable towel or bathrobe, ask a friend or neighbor to borrow one in time.
Step 6. Get a comb or hairbrush
After swimming, fix your hair, unless you're headed home.
Step 7. Older girls should think about bringing extra pads, to prevent any unforeseen events that might happen
Step 8. If you wear contact lenses, make sure you have a case and saline solution so you can remove them before entering the tub
Step 9. Deodorant door
After swimming, it is best to eliminate or cover the smell of chlorine, which by the way does not combine well with the smell of sweat.
Step 10. A body splash or moisturizing body lotion could make your day better
By swimming in chlorinated water, the skin dries easily.
Step 11. Remember to drink fluids
If you drink regularly, your skin will also wrinkle less in contact with water. Nobody should run the risk of becoming dehydrated in a pool or lake. Never drink the water you swim in, it is unhygienic, and also contains harmful chemicals, which are relatively harmless if you accidentally ingest small amounts.
Step 12. Bring goggles and a headset, perhaps inquire if required
Step 13. Organize everything inside the bag, complete with slippers or clogs and a sun hat if you will be swimming outdoors
Step 14. Also in the case of an outdoor swimming pool, remember to bring protective lotion for the skin, so as not to burn yourself
