You might have wondered why divers or swimmers often soak in warm water or take a shower after.?

The 2024 Olympic Games have passed, and if you had the chance to watch the diving events, you might have wondered why divers or swimmers often soak in warm water or take a shower after completing their performance. This isn’t just for comfort; it has important implications for maintaining physical condition and enhancing performance.

Main reasons why divers soak in warm water after diving:
1. Maintaining Body Temperature: When athletes dive into cold water, their bodies lose heat quickly. Soaking in warm water helps maintain the body’s temperature at an optimal level, preventing hypothermia, which can negatively impact physical performance.
2. Relaxing Muscles: Warm water helps muscles relax and reduces muscle tension, which is crucial for athletes to maintain flexibility and prevent injuries such as cramps during competition.
3. Preparing for the Next Dive: Soaking in warm water helps athletes feel comfortable and ready for their next dive by allowing their bodies to quickly return to a condition suitable for competition.
For diving competitions, the pool temperature must be at least 26°C (78.8°F) to prevent the athletes’ bodies from being shocked by the rapid temperature change when they hit the cold water after a dive.
For swimming competitions at the Olympics, the pool temperature is maintained between 25°C and 28°C, which is an ideal range for balancing the body’s heat dissipation and maintaining optimal swimming performance.
