安全游泳至關重要。即使你在游泳館里，周圍有救生員，你也需要盡你所能來確保你在水中的安全。以下是幾條重要的安全提示。

1.閱讀提示標牌。尋找張貼在游泳區周圍的提示標牌，并花時間仔細閱讀所有內容。遵守標牌上寫的安全規定。

2.不要跑。切勿在游泳池周圍奔跑。游泳池周圍的地面很濕，也非常滑，如果你不小心，會很容易受傷。

3.跳水前請先看一下。有些游泳池嚴格禁止跳入水中，而有些游泳池則允許跳入水中。如果游泳池允許且你想嘗試跳進去，請始終環顧四周，確保不會傷害已經在游泳池中的任何人。

4.僅在安全區域游泳。最好在有救生員監督的地方游泳。沒有人能預料危險。如果出現問題，救生員可以及時救援。

5.和伙伴一起。有人陪伴是確保游泳安全的好方法。如果你不確定自己的游泳能力，請讓更有經驗的游泳者在你旁邊，這樣可以以防萬一。

6.不要過度。要實事求是，始終保持在你的游泳能力范圍內。當你游得舒暢時，盡可能用力地游并游得遠些，如果你覺得累了，就停下來休息。

7.多補充水分。游完泳很容易脫水，特別是出汗時。補充水分可以防止脫水。頭暈眼花或惡心可能是脫水的征兆。
