Triathlon Swim Deaths: Initial Steps Toward Prevention

1. Warm up thoroughly before the swim to promote blood flow to the extremities.
2. Avoid wearing a wetsuit that restricts breathing or feels tight around the neck.
3. Submerge gradually and become comfortable with face immersion without competitive stress. If breathing difficulty is experienced on initial immersion, get out and jog in place.
4. Do an easy swim warm-up before the start. A preliminary swim will help redistribute the increased central blood volume that occurs with immersion. (Note, a 10-minute warm-up has become mandatory in the Auburn Triathlon (www.auburntriathlon.com/swim/swimindex.shtml).
5. Don’t overdrink within minutes before the swim start.
6. In the event of a panic attack discontinue the competitive effort, back float and signal for help until normal breathing is restored.
7. If possible, become habituated to the swim venue in advance, as this might attenuate race-day anxiety and its associated hyperventilation.

Dies unter der Annahme dass eine wesentliche Ursache acute pulmonary edema (APE) ist.

Habe mich nicht genug damit beschäftigt, um zu sagen, ob das was wesentlich anderes ist als das zuvor genannte SIPE (Swimming Induced Pulmonary Edema).
