Beware of a cold after swimming

For the beginner swimmer, the swim swimming, tend to have a flu-like symptoms: nose breathing smoothly, the first bit feel, and some will be marked with several successive sneeze. What is the reason for this?

Because of the following aspects:

Hot and cold and surface changes in the environment lead to a runny nose.

The body’s normal body temperature at 36 ℃ 37 ℃, while the pool temperature is usually in the 27 ℃ below swimmer into the water, due to the nasal mucosa stimulated by low temperature, plus swimming, respiration is the process of alternating land and water environment, the process of converting the head in the water when the swimmer in the exhaled breath, or state, this time a small amount of water will enter the nasal cavity, when the head of water breathing, the nasal cavity, there is always a small amount of residual water, the breathing process and the alternation of water below the body temperature of stimulation of the nasal mucosa, resulting in an increase in mucosal secretions, resulting in the flow is similar to a cold clear nose symptoms.

Swimming in the brain caused by oxygen breathing dizziness.

The breath is the head swimming in the water and air alternately completed, the process of mouth is the completion of the main organs of respiration, which is different from the people in the land the natural breathing process of the nasal cavity. Swimmer in the water by the right rib cage from the water pressure of 1215 kilograms, to swim to breathe normally when the process is necessary to overcome the pressure of the water, which virtually increases the difficulty of breathing. A certain time or distance swimming, due to respiratory factors, the body will result in similar symptoms of hypoxia, which show that the symptoms of slight dizziness.

The head and body heat faster than leading to the cold.

As the head of human skin, the most abundant capillaries, blood circulation and most exuberant, so head higher cooling capacity. After swimming, the body sweating, fever, and from the water, due to the distribution of body surface there is residual water drops, or more wet hair after shower, could easily lead to a short time the head and body heat dissipation, so there will be cold feeling.

Big Easy swimming energy consumption causing bodily fatigue.

All the movements are physically and energy consumption of the process, and unlike other sports, swimming sports addition to its own energy consumption, the lower the body temperature of water also contributed to the body heat loss of the important reasons. Therefore, swimming is the energy consumption of a larger movement, the feeling of fatigue after exercise would be more apparent than in some other sports.

How to overcome this symptom to happen?

First of all, pay attention to the correct breathing method, preferably in the water first, slow travel a certain distance, to be essential to adapt to the body after the swim and then from slow to fast speed. Secondly, we must according to their physical condition to master the amount of travel and movement proper rest and avoid physical fatigue. Third, since the water and shower after going to the timely and dry hair and body, resting when wearing a towel, clothing, shower after going to the timely and dressed, the body’s sweat to be dissipated after the then outdoors to prevent the rapid temperature decrease.
