Overwhelm your senses

When you’re in the water, your senses are dulled and everything seems more sleepy, one way to make the experience more intense is by adding some elements to create noise and light.

You can shout underwater, or wear bright colored goggles if you don’t want to startle anyone around you.

You can also use a waterproof flashlight or creeper lights under the water, these sensory additions will help keep your mind awake and active.

Another way to keep yourself engaged is to change up the pace of movement in the water, if you don’t want to constantly swim laps, find an activity that forces you to move quickly through the water like bobbing for apples or playing Marco Polo with friends. 

Work together with others

One of the best things about swimming is that you can socialize with other people, it’s a great way to make friends and bond with someone.

When you’re in a pool, you have a shared goal with everyone else: staying afloat, this means that even if someone doesn’t speak the same language as you, he or she will still be able to understand what you are trying to do.

This makes it easier for people who are new or shy and helps them get along with others, there are many skills that can be learned in a swimming pool, but one of the most obvious ones is how to work together with others.

Get used to water temperature

The temperature in a Swimmingpool varies from very warm to freezing cold, so it pays to get used to the water in your own pool before you dive into any other waters. Try slowly dipping your toe into the water and getting used to how it feels against your skin, if you find that it’s too hot or too cold, try going for a swim at another time of day or in another pool.

Keep your head above water

If you are a beginner, it’s best to keep your head above water, if you turn your head sideways, this will allow you to look at the bottom of the pool and find your way around.

Don’t panic

They feel like they’re going to drown or that they can’t stay afloat and if you’re new to swimming, don’t worry! It’s really easy to stay afloat and have fun in the water. You just need to learn how to relax while you swim, be comfortable with the temperature of the water, and understand how your body moves through it.

Here are a few tips for staying calm:

• Lean on anything that’s floating for support
• Breathe slowly and evenly
• Keep your head above water at all times
• Relax as much as possible

Take a break from the pool

Sometimes you might need to take a break from the pool and enjoy a little sun outside. While water is great for your health, it also offers you some nice benefits:

• You can swim in any weather and stay cool
• It’s refreshing after being in the hot sun
• You can play games on water like Marco Polo or water volleyball
• You burn more calories than on land
• You gain flexibility because of the resistance of the water

So, if you’re not feeling up to swimming, just get out of the pool and take a break or, if you want to keep practicing your skills in the water.
