When we watch the diving competition, we can all see that divers will take a shower on the sidelines immediately after they get out of the water. It's basically a process. But here, bathing is actually necessary, and it is necessary for almost every diver to get out of the water. So now explain the meaning of this shower to everyone.
First, rinse off the residual diving pool moisture on the body surface. For divers, their body skin is actually the impression score that affects the score. And going in and out of diving pool many times for a long time is actually harmful to the skin. Because diving pool needs to add chemicals to keep the water clear. These chemicals may cause athletes' skin diseases. Therefore, bathing in water can minimize the occurrence of skin diseases.
Second, avoid the large temperature difference on the body surface after the water comes out. In fact, in diving venues, the temperature will be maintained at around 22 degrees, while the temperature in diving pool will be around 26 degrees. In this way, when leaving diving pool, there will be a temperature difference problem. It doesn't matter once, but the diving competition requires you to dive many times. Therefore, in order to prevent the body from problems due to temperature difference, athletes will choose to wash with warm water in time, then dry the water and put on a towel. This will ensure that you won't get sick because of the temperature difference.
Third, take a hot bath and relax. Although the diving action is only a short moment, in this process, the athletes' mental and physical state are in a state of extreme tension. After leaving diving pool, you can take a hot bath, which will greatly relax your nervous muscles and spirit. Avoid cramps and other phenomena caused by tension to the greatest extent.
These three aspects are the reasons why divers take a bath. In fact, some of the athletes' movements are very particular, and these movements can help them complete the competition better and achieve better results.
