In the crowd, an old man with white eyebrows loudly announced the water temperature and temperature, attracting many citizens who were relaxing in the square.
The old man, who is called "Daddy Yue" by his peers, is called Yue Kenan, 79 years old this year, the oldest member of the sail team, and also a warm-hearted person in the eyes of other team members.
Story] 70 years of swimming.
He joined the winter swimming team 4 years ago.
Having been swimming since childhood, Yue has been involved in the sport for 70 years. "I used to go down to the river in the summer and the indoor heated swimming pool in the winter. A few years ago, I found that there was a winter swimming team swimming by the river, so I applied to join the organization. Yue Kenan recalled the situation when he first came into contact with winter swimming in 2017 and joined the windsurfing team in 2019, "At that time, everyone saw that I was old and wanted to dissuade me. Later, I dealt with them every day, and after more contact, everyone thought that I was in good health, and after swimming for so many years, they slowly accepted me. ”
Father-in-law, father-in-law!What's the temperature today?From time to time, there were a few shouts from the crowd.
Today's water temperature is 119. The shore temperature is 145℃。Yue Kenan introduced that the time for the team members to swim in the water every day is determined according to the water temperature. "Swimming at a water temperature of 14 or less is a winter swim. If the water temperature is 10, we will swim for a few minutes, for example, if the water temperature is 10, we will swim for 10 minutes. I'm older, and the time spent swimming is halved. ”
Yue Kenan put on swimming trunks, threw the lifebuoy into the river, and jumped into the water in style. After a short swim in the water for a few minutes, he went ashore with a lifebuoy.
On December 26, Father Yue went into the water with the team members at the base of the windsurfing team for winter swimming, and there were team members paddling paddleboards not far away. ）
Suggestion] After winter swimming, you can trot for half an hour.
Accelerates the body's recovery.
The temperature on the shore is high, and I don't feel cold when I first come up, but when I put on my clothes, I feel cold, and I have to keep running to warm my body. After going ashore, I trotted for another half an hour, and my body was almost warm. ”
On the groundwater platform of the sail team, Yue Kenan was shirtless, pacing small steps, and he had not dried the water on his body, he happily told reporters, "Winter swimming has strengthened my self-confidence, gained a sense of achievement, and exercised my body, and I have fewer colds than before, and I get better faster." ”
Although swimming cannot be said to be a 'cure-all', it can alleviate or assist in the control of some chronic diseases in the elderly. For winter swimming for the elderly, Yue Kenan introduced from his own experience, "We should start preparing to practice winter swimming from the time the water temperature is high in summer, and slowly adapt to the feeling of the water temperature dropping." Pay special attention not to swim on an empty stomach, otherwise people who are physically exhausted are prone to hypoglycemic reaction, and they cannot swim for a long time, and they must not swim alone, but they must act collectively and take care of each other. At the same time, he also mentioned that winter swimming is risky, and you must do what you can according to your own situation, and you can't blindly enter the water.
Team] spontaneously carried out drowning prevention propaganda.

When the old man and some team members were swimming in the water, the Sanxiang reporter noticed that there were several team members who were holding paddleboards and gliding on the water.
Many of the team members have retired, and everyone feels that in addition to swimming and fitness, they should serve the society more, which will be able to help the society. Zhang Qin introduced, "We are concerned that there are drowning incidents on the hydrophilic platform from time to time, especially in summer. Now some of our team members have added the Blue Sky Organization, especially from July this year, from 7 pm to 9 pm, there will be team members who will spontaneously guard the water platform. ”
The reporter learned that at present, more than 10 members of the sail team have spontaneously purchased paddle board training. Zhang Qin said, "In addition to exercising, everyone also hopes to help others with the help of paddle boards." We plan to wait until next summer, and the team members will be on duty on the water platform to participate in drowning prevention publicity and volunteer rescue work. ”
