Don't rush into the pool. It's important to think about safety rules.

This warning was issued by dermatologist Natalia Zhovtan, writes News.ru.

As the specialist noted, it is absolutely necessary to take a swimming cap with you. This rule applies even to bald men.

This item protects the ears from water getting into the ear canals and the possibility of catching some kind of disease.

For people with long hair, a cap will protect against the harmful effects of chlorine. If you ignore this rule, your hair may become drier and more brittle.

The doctor also emphasized that caps make a person more visible in the water. This is especially important if a child or a person with disabilities goes to the pool.

The specialist noted that there are some other rules for visiting the pool that are important to remember and follow.

As Zhovtan noted, you should not go into the water if you have wounds, cracks, cuts, calluses, or scratches on your body.

Also, when swimming, you should not swallow water from the pool, so as not to cause harm to your health.
