| Looking
for a fresh dip? Ever been polar-bearing?
Safety first: know
your body of water. Be very cautious of water you have
never been in before. Undercurrents, undergrowth, and
mud can be very dangerous. The cold water can also be a
quick killer. Lightning also is reason enough to stay
very clear of the water. If you are unsure about
swimming somewhere then don't do it.
If the lake is warm
enough and well known or your river is slow enough
(obviously this changes if you have the right equipment
and plan to raft and you are experienced) then
take a dip. It is super refreshing.
Polar-bearing is jumping
into an ice filled pond just because you are a nut. Get
out as soon as you can and make sure you have plenty of
people around to help you if things get tough. Be
careful!!
Always have someone else
around who is a strong swimmer and knows the proper
first-aid.
Try some water tag. Try
some water football. Try tubing down your local river.
Make it a day at the beach.
Scuba-diving is a blast!
Take some lessons. Take a dive.
Whatever you do have fun
and be safe!
