Heat causes additional stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

Drink more liquid than usual, ventilate the rooms at night, but close the curtains or blinds during the day, do not stay in direct sunlight for a long time, avoid prolonged physical activities, and choose light and breathable clothing! Do not forget to take care of your pets too by providing them with fresh water.

A sudden change in temperature can cause heart rhythm disturbances and sudden death. Do not be presumptuous and evaluate your swimming skills!
