Swimming Safety Never go beyond your limitations when swimming. Each year there are hundreds of accidental drownings caused by the failure to observe a few basic safety rules. Avoid swimming in unsupervised or- unknown waters. Don’t swim in cold water or immediately after eating. By doing so, you run the risk of fatigue or cramps. Never engage in horseplay in the water, such as dunkings, false cries for help, etc. '.
