Swimming offers many health and social advantages, but it is vital that all swimmers know how to do it safely. The Hong Kong Pool Safety Code mandates that all swimmers wear lifeguard vests and be aware of potential risks before entering the water, with at least one swimming coach always present to oversee supervision in a swimming pool environment.
Should you experience an injury during swimming practice or competition, notify your swimming coach as soon as possible and follow his or her instructions. Coaches have been specially trained to recognize injuries in swimmers and provide appropriate first aid treatments. In addition, the LCSD advises swimmers to contact their local community centre or school for guidance regarding swimming safety issues.
