Wild swimming

－

taking a dip in rivers, lakes and waterfalls

－

is fantastic fun

and has great health benefits. However, many avoidable drownings even deaths have

happened, so people are asking: is wild swimming safe?

One of my favourite locations is Gullet Quarry, a beautiful pool that reaches

more

than

18℃

in

summer.

Yet

there

have

been

two

drownings

of

local

boys

there

this

month. The water is warmer than that in the sea, and there are no currents and no

particular

underwater

obstructions.

Many

swimmers

swim

there

all

year

round

because

it's really a safer place to swim than the sea.

But

is

wild

swimming

really

dangerous?

I

believe

it

is

behavior

and

activities

around

swimming

that

are

dangerous,

rather

than

the

location.

You

might

be

surprised

to learn that outdoor swimming is rated as a moderate risk, while other seemingly

safe activities, such as fishing

and sailing, are high risk.

The advice I give to beginners is to know your limits and build up experience

slowly. Water can be very cold. Though cold water doesn't kill you, it'll make you

much less buoyant. So swim 10% of the distance you can do until you have adapted

to it. Above all, stay close to the bank or shore. Cold water can cause shocks,

so enter slowly an

d be careful to jump into deep water.

Nowadays,

we're

losing

basic

outdoor

skills

and

common

sense.

Half

of

children

over

seven

can't

swim

a

length

of

a

pool,

and

fewer

haven't

swum

outdoors.

So

I

don't

believe

that

fencing

up

wild

swimming

locations

will

improve

d, I

want

to see more inland swimming places, such as on the continent, where almost every

reservoir

has

its

beaches,

most

without

lifeguards,

as

people

are

trusted

to

be

able

to

look

after

themselves.

I'd

like

to

see

schools

include

outdoor

swimming

in

their

PE

lessons,

families

going

wild

swimming

together,

and

more

water

companies

following the example of Rutland

Water and creating seasonal swimming beaches.

We need to change our attitude to inland waters and encourage children to go

outdoors, swim in nature, and build a love of wild places that will serve them all

their life.

1. People prefer to swim in Gullet Quarry mainly because________.

A. the water there is cooler than the sea

1

B. there are no obstructions under the water

C. it's a pool combining swimming with tourism

D. it's safer to swim there

2. What does the author advise the swimming beginners to do first of all?

A. Adapt to the water slowly and stay near the bank in water.

B. Jump into deep water after they take off their clothes.

C. Swim half of the distance they can do to adapt to the water.

D. Have confidence and pretend to be brave.

3. Which of the following statements does the author seem to agree?

A. Many swimming locations have caused swimmers in danger.

B. Swimmers' behavior and activities have put them in danger.

C. Families should go swimming in nature accompanied by a coach.

D. More lifeguards should be given to the swimmers in swimming pools.

4. It is implied from the last but one paragraph that________.

A. people should be trusted to be able to look after their family members

B. Rutland Water is the first company to create seasonal swimming beaches

C. children should be given more chances to improve their swimming skills

D. modern swimming pools will improve children's swimming safety in future

5. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To explain why wild swimming is not dangerous.

B. To persuade people to go wild swimming in nature.

C. To express the author's attitude towards swimming.

D. To advise swimming should be taught at school.
