关于游泳的5条小建议-双语阅读

在炎热的夏天，没有什么比在海边或是泳池纵身一跃，进入冰凉的水世界更棒的了。如果你不会游泳，别担心，看看以下的5则小建议会对你有帮助：

On a very sunny summer day, there is nothing better than diving into some cool water at the beach or in a pool. If you are worried because you don’t know how to swim, we can help you learn with these five easy steps:

 

• 安全第一 在学游泳的时候，需要有个人在你身边辅导你。可以先在浅水区里熟悉如何站起来和如何换气。同时水温也很关键，不能够太冰凉。你也可以带上游泳眼镜或者游泳帽。


• safety first. Someone should always accompany you when you are learning how to swim. It is also recommended that your first lesson takes place in steady water that isn’t too deep. You have to be able to stand up and breathe. The temperature of the water is also important – it mustn’t be very cold. If you prefer, you can wear goggles or a water cap.

 

• 适应水中的环境 把你的头埋入水中，踩水，再出水。 踩水怎么做呢？就像骑自行车那样，人直立水中,两腿交替上提下踩,保持身体不沉并能前进 。多多练习，这样你就不会沉下去了。


•  Get comfortable with the water. Put your head underwater, tread the water, and move in the water. What does ‘tread the water’ mean? Move your legs in a cycling motion, pushing the water down with your feet, and use your hands to push water from the front of your body to your sides. Practice this until you can keep your head above water without touching the bottom of the pool with your feet.

 

• 学会漂浮 双手抓住泳池的一边（或者握住别人的手），让你的身体漂浮在水面上。不要害怕，在你完全放松后你就能飘起来了。然后你再慢慢放手。这样重复练习。


• Learn how to float. Hold on to the side of the pool (or ask the person helping you to hold you) and let your stomach and legs drift to the surface of the water. Do not be afraid – this will happen naturally if you relax and allow them to float. After this, turn onto your back and try the same thing.

 

• 练习水下呼吸 深吸一口气，憋住，然后头完全埋入水中。慢慢用嘴呼光吸入的空气，然后抬头出水。如果你觉得很不舒服或者很困难，用手捏住你的鼻子（或者用鼻夹）来做。


• Practice exhaling underwater. Take a deep breath and then go underwater just enough for your head to be covered. Exhale slowly through your nose until you’re out of breath, and then return to the surface. If this is too hard or too uncomfortable, hold your nose closed (or use a nose plug) and exhale through your mouth.

 

• 找到你自己的泳姿 在游泳中有许多泳姿：海豚式，蝶泳，蛙泳和自由泳等等。首先你要确保你靠背部或者胃部漂浮起来感到舒服，然后尝试下狗爬式。这是最基本的泳姿，适合初学者，能帮助你在水中移动。如果你喜欢仰泳，那么就仰卧水面，两臂从头后经体侧向后划水。如果感觉自己要沉下去了，那就收回你的手。重复这个动作，在双手交替划水的同时，腿也要打水。这同样适用于靠胃部漂浮时。


• Find your style. There are many swimming techniques: dolphin stroke, butterfly stroke, breaststroke and sidestroke, just to name a few. See first if you are more comfortable floating on your back or on your stomach, and then try doing a crawl. This is a basic move for a beginner that will help you move in the water. If you prefer floating on your back, you will do a back crawl: lift one arm straight into the air, rotating it at the shoulder to bring it over your head and then back into the water. Then, once it’s underwater, bend your arm to bring it back to a straight position next to your body. Repeat this movement, alternating with each arm, and at the same time kick the water with your legs. It works similarly if you are floating on your stomach.

耐心地根据以上建议练习，早日成为一名游泳健将。带上你的泳衣，约上三五好友或者家人一起享受游泳的乐趣吧！

Practice the steps above patiently and safely and you’ll eventually become a skilled swimmer. All you need now is to grab a bathing suit and family or friends, and then let the fun times begin!
