Swimming During Rainy Season

Summer has ended. Heavy workloads are waiting. In tropical country like Philippines, end of summer is associated with more work and duties. Rainy season is the next problem because it will be followed with floods and typhoons not only in metro manila but almost nationwide.

Water activities usually lessen due to rains. People get lazy to go to the pool to take a lap and even to go for other sports activities. We usually love staying at home cooking and craving some of our favorite dishes. This is something that we need to beat. Times like this, we need to be more disciplined and get some workout. If you don't feel to go out for swimming, you can stay at home and do simple exercises.

Despite of rainy season in the Philippines, there are swimmers who would still go for swim. I am personally one of those who loves to swim even rain is ongoing. My personal reasons are the following:

1. It is more challenging to swim when rain is present.
2. It is sunburn-free. No need to put my sunblock.
3. There are few swimmers in the pool.


You will not feel the same way but, in case you are really motivated to swim, I also listed some important considerations:

1. Swim in the covered pool if possible. Uncovered pool can be source of water-borne diseases.
2. Check if there is thunder and lightning. Swimming in this condition is not allowed.
3. In case you accidentally drink some water from the pool, drink lactobiotic drinks after swim.
