 Guo Lanlan：The swimming team keeps up the good work Swimming has a bright future

Guo Lanlan is a teacher in the Physical Education Department of the w88 casino and the coach of the w88 casino swimming team. She has received swimming training since childhood and has about ten years of training experience. She has participated in many swimming competitions at the municipal, provincial and national levels, and once won the first place in the national open water swimming competition. As the coach who is mainly responsible for the physical training of the team members, Teacher Guo Lanlan cooperates with the head coach Teacher Wang Yang, who is mainly responsible for aquatic training, and jointly leads the athletes of w88 casino's swimming team to achieve great results in Beijing college swimming competitions.

 Swimming, once favored by many great figures such as Mao Zedong and Yuan Longping, has become increasingly popular among the people in recent years. Swimming has both exercise value, practical value and ornamental value,Because of this, it is called a high quality“Luxury" movement, known as"“Reputation as “King of Sports”. "The most important feature of this sport," Teacher Guo Lanlan mentioned, "is that the environment in which athletes live is very different from that of other events." Since swimming events are always conducted in water, its characteristics are also closely connected with the characteristics of water——Water environment characteristics such as water temperature, water flow, water pressure and water resistance each affect the human body in the water. There is a difference of about ten degrees Celsius between the water temperature of normal swimming pools and the body temperature of the human body. Swimmers need to exercise in an environment that is cooler than the body. The stimulation of low temperature can significantly improve the body's ability to adapt to temperature. Secondly, given that the media of water and air are different, one of the most obvious feelings people have in water is instability. Teacher Guo Lanlan pointed out, “The water flow has no fixed support, so it places high demands on the human body’s balance ability and limb coordination. Long-term exercise will significantly improve swimmers’ corresponding abilities. "Furthermore, due to the high density of liquids, the resistance of water is more than 800 times that of air. People often need to resist more external forces to exercise in water, thereby consuming more energy. However, because germs are easily spread in water, teachers do not recommend that people with open wounds, acute trauma, or infectious diseases go into the water. In addition, water pressure will also cause certain stimulation to the human body, and people with unsuitable diseases such as high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease are prone to dangerous conditions in the water. Since there have been very few patients with congenital hypertension in w88 casino’s swimming classes, teacher Guo Lanlan hereby emphasizes that although swimming is good, it is not suitable for everyone. She hopes that students can first understand their own physical condition, then choose a sport that suits them, understand its benefits in advance and establish safety awareness to avoid its potential risks before learning the sport, so that they can reap the benefits of this sport in a better state.                                  

Swimming can not only improve human physiological abilities such as cardiorespiratory endurance, balance ability, and limb coordination, but also benefit athletes psychologically. When exercising, the currents in all directions change the environment in which swimmers usually live, and accordingly, bring a brand new environment to their hearts. “When you are usually under a lot of study pressure, you can temporarily put your studies aside and put yourself in the water to relax for one to two hours before coming back,” teacher Guo Lanlan suggested. “At this time, you will find that you will be in a better state to carry out the next stage of learning.” In addition, because this sport is relatively difficult, learners can repeatedly exercise their psychological quality while constantly striving to master the skills. This course can help students build a better mental state while not attending meetings. It is not difficult to find from the feedback from swimming class students in previous years that some students have significantly improved their self-confidence after achieving their goals.

Foreign economic and w88 swimming has been based on decades, and it involves three major components——Teaching, Societies and Training——Both have gained a lot. In terms of teaching, w88 casino offers swimming courses from undergraduate to graduate students. Although the elective system of physical education classes cannot make swimming available to all students, it can still allow a considerable number of swimming enthusiasts to receive professional swimming instruction. In terms of clubs, w88 casino’s Silver Shark Swimming AssociationYu19959844_9852Since its establishment, the Swimming Association has adhered to the purpose of meeting the needs of swimming enthusiasts of the University of w88 and Economics, and has taken the Olympics as an opportunity to organize many excellent activities, including regular swimming activities, swimming training projects with the swimming team, regularly organizing swimming salons for members, hosting large-scale swimming competitions across the w88 casino, inviting celebrities in the swimming industry to have close contacts, etc. These all provide a platform for students who love swimming to communicate with each other, receive guidance and showcase themselves. In terms of training, w88 casino's swimming team selects students with outstanding performance for two to three training sessions a week, and participates in swimming competitions in Beijing and even the country once every semester. In recent years, it has actively prepared for competitions, defeated the strong teams, and won several awards. Regarding the story of the swimming team, teacher Guo Lanlan also shared a lot: "Our swimming team is a very united group, and I believe all sports training teams are like this.

Sports can put people in a relatively relaxed atmosphere, and everyone in this atmosphere will be more active accordingly. We have a lot of team-building activities. Before the epidemic, we would go to Osun to train, and occasionally participate in marathons as a group. We organize gatherings regularly every semester or w88 casino year. "Not only do they communicate with each other underwater, but swimming enthusiasts also communicate with each other in their own way on the water platform. The whole team always works hard together, uses dreams as horses, welcomes glory together, has fun together, creates stories together, and becomes each other's family in the University of International w88. The swimming team of Wangmao University will continue to work hard, and the swimming movement of Wangmao University will have a bright future.
