安全游泳至关重要。即使你在游泳馆里，周围有救生员，你也需要尽你所能来确保你在水中的安全。以下是几条重要的安全提示。

1.阅读提示标牌。寻找张贴在游泳区周围的提示标牌，并花时间仔细阅读所有内容。遵守标牌上写的安全规定。

2.不要跑。切勿在游泳池周围奔跑。游泳池周围的地面很湿，也非常滑，如果你不小心，会很容易受伤。

3.跳水前请先看一下。有些游泳池严格禁止跳入水中，而有些游泳池则允许跳入水中。如果游泳池允许且你想尝试跳进去，请始终环顾四周，确保不会伤害已经在游泳池中的任何人。

4.仅在安全区域游泳。最好在有救生员监督的地方游泳。没有人能预料危险。如果出现问题，救生员可以及时救援。

5.和伙伴一起。有人陪伴是确保游泳安全的好方法。如果你不确定自己的游泳能力，请让更有经验的游泳者在你旁边，这样可以以防万一。

6.不要过度。要实事求是，始终保持在你的游泳能力范围内。当你游得舒畅时，尽可能用力地游并游得远些，如果你觉得累了，就停下来休息。

7.多补充水分。游完泳很容易脱水，特别是出汗时。补充水分可以防止脱水。头晕眼花或恶心可能是脱水的征兆。
