The beaches are one of the favorite destinations for holidaymakers. The coastal climate is a source of health, very beneficial in some diseases and can get in shape with sports such as swimming. To prevent more than a scare about our health, we recommend you follow these tips:

Entry into the water

- Never enter the water suddenly. It is preferable to establish contact gradually previously wetting parts of the body, especially if you shower after sunbathing or eating much.

“Do not pull the head not sure of the depth. Many head injuries, neck and back are raised when to dive.

- Watch the color of the flag of the beach and avoid swim if red. Take special care with the beach located at the mouths of rivers, despite appearing calm waters may appear dangerous tides, eddies, currents and rip currents.

In water

Exit the water immediately if you feel any of these symptoms:
- Chills or shivering with redness of the skin.
- Fatigue.
- Headache or punctures in the neck.
- Itching on the abdomen, arms or legs.
- Feeling dizzy, dizziness or ringing in the ears.
- Blurred vision or lights.
- Muscle cramps or joint pains.

If you feel you have been bitten by a jellyfish (burning sensation followed by severe pain) leave the water immediately.

The burning is more intense and you might not keep swimming.

Remember that not being on vacation should forget about their health and that of your loved ones!
