Question

Ophelia wants to become a better swimmer, so she has decided to practice at the local pool. Which of the following is the best way for her to stay safe during her workout?

A.Swimming alone until she can keep up with the other athletes
B.Going for a brief walk ahead of time and stretching afterward
C.Aiming for the fastest possible lap time on her first time swimming
D.Eating a large meal right before her workout so she has energy

Answer 1

B. Because it is best to stretch a little before and after swimming

Answer 2

Well lets look at all the choices.

A) This answer isn’t truly safe. If she swims alone and gets hurt there will be no one there to help her. Also, it is good to have someone there for motivation.

B) This seems like a reasonable answer because she warms up before and ends on a slow pace which really prepares her body in an easy but strong way.

C) This is not a safe choice. You should never push yourself too hard on the first try.

D) This is definitely not the thing to do. You never want to eat a large meal right before a workout as this can cause severe cramps.

So, looking at all the answer choices, the best one would be B.
