Hi, thanks for reading this article. An adventurous swimmer like me and probably you as well, will always want to try out the open water swimming. I have had several experiences and incidents happen during my open water swimming. Now, I’m going to share this with you and I hope it benefits you!
#1 Never Swim Alone
It is going to be dangerous if you are doing open water swimming alone. Mother nature is very unpredictable. You will never know what can happen even if you are a strong swimmer. Before you swim, you can do all necessary arrangements for every possible problem, but trust me, it is always possible that something is not within your control. So, do inform lifeguard on duty, let them know your plan before your start your swim. If there is no lifeguard, then please ask your friend along.
#2 Check the temperature
Test the water temperature before you swim. It is going to be difficult for a swimmer if the water is freezing cold. You are advised to wear a wet suit to swim in cold water. It prevents you from muscle cramps and a running nose. Do not swim for too long in a cold water – then it will be difficult for you to stop shivering and you can suffer from jaw/teeth ache after that.
#3 Do stretch and warm up before you swim
This will give a signal to your muscle that they are going to work hard. It prevents muscle cramp during the swim. It is very dangerous if you cramp in the middle of open water swimming. As nobody could notice you easily. So, do spend 10-20 minutes to do the stretch and warm up before you swim.

Aside from being the first ever and only comprehensive list of the world’s safest beaches, we also share lifesaving tips like what to do if you encounter a shark, how to avoid attracting sharks, and how to save the life of someone bitten by a shark.
Once every five days, someone somewhere in the world is bitten by a shark. These are authenticated, unprovoked attacks. The public needs to know that a few simple water safety tips can mean the difference between life and death ~ such as – where they swim, at what time of day, and what they wear in the water.
The unique features of this Guidebook include the fact there is nothing else out there like it.
Watersports and tropical vacations are a billion dollar a year industry supported by millions of people, and yet no one has ever compiled a safety manual comparable to what that this book provides. Our president and Founder “The Surf Lady” often appears on various news shows sharing these lifesaving tips. We all know that news stations do their due diligence and would not allow a guest on their show if they did not feel our mission valid!
This Guidebook entertains as well as informs, infused with top 10 lists, numerous pop culture references, and fun trivia such as more people are killed each year by trying to shake a vending machine than by a shark. We also touch on the environmental concerns of the ocean.

It encourages repeat patronage, raises funds for a charity, and conveys important information to help people be healthy and well while we enjoy the ocean; as we know, nothing is more important than staying alive! Plus with the new year, travel is in the forefront of peoples’ minds – this Guidebook facilitates that. All these reasons are why this Guidebook is superior for being the only material like it available. There’s a reason why bands like Thirty Seconds to Mars, Radiohead, and Depeche Mode support the lifesaving mission of The Surf Lady.
