• Monitoring Weather Predictions; Before you go for a swim it’s important to check weather forecasts. Pay attention to predictions for wind patterns and storms.
• Recognizing Indicators; Keep an eye out for drops in temperature darkening clouds or unexpected shifts in wind direction. These could be signs of an approaching storm or weather front.
• Emergency Protocols; It’s crucial to have a plan, in case the weather changes unexpectedly. Know how to exit the water or find shelter if needed.
In open water environments where conditions can be unpredictable understanding these safety considerations becomes crucial. It is important for athletes, coaches and even recreational swimmers to be aware of these factors to ensure performance and guarantee the well being of all participants.
When swimming in water navigational skills are essential. Unlike pool swimming where lanes provide a path open water swimmers must frequently lift their heads to sight. Ensure they stay on course. There are techniques for sighting;
«Alligator Eyes» involves lifting the goggles above the waterline allowing swimmers to see ahead without lifting their heads too high.
Another method is the» Head Lift,» which provides a view but requires more energy and is used less frequently.
The frequency of sighting varies depending on water conditions and personal preference; some swimmers choose to sight every 3 strokes while others prefer every 10 strokes.
It’s important, for all swimmers – whether athletes or casual enthusiasts – to familiarize themselves with these techniques and safety considerations when venturing into open water environments.
• Spotting Objects; While buoys are commonly utilized in races swimmers can also use landmarks, like trees, buildings or hills on the horizon to navigate.
Using Landmarks
• Types of Landmarks;
• Natural Landmarks; Hills, mountains, shaped trees or rock formations.
• Man made Landmarks; buildings, towers, bridges or boats.
• Advantages;
• Consistency; Unlike floating buoys stationary landmarks provide a point of reference as they don’t move.
• Judging Distance; Prominent landmarks can assist swimmers in estimating the distance they have covered or still need to swim.
