날씨가 제법 쌀쌀해졌어요.
일본쪽에 태풍이 온다던데 그 영향일까요?
바람도 많이 불고... 어제는 겨울 패딩 입은 사람도 몇명 봤네요
2017년도 이제 두달 남짓 남았네요.
공부와 시험으로 바쁜 시기이지만
잠깐만 주위를 둘러봐도 짧은 가을을 느낄 수 있을거예요 ^^
이번주는 수영장에서의 에티켓에 대한 내용이네요 ~
netiquette, wetiquette.... 이런 신조어도 많이 생기는 듯 합니다.
수영장 들어가기 전 shower !! 꼭 지키자구요 ^^
How do you behave in a swimming pool? Do you respect other swimmers or do you end up in their way?
wetiquette in many dictionaries – it actually means ‘swimming pool etiquette’. W-etiquette – get it? Etiquette is a set of rules for how to behave in social situations. And wetiquette is a set of dos and don’ts to keep things calm in the water.
Jenny Landreth, swimming specialist, interviewed by the BBC
Jenny Landreth
: I'm very keen on my wetiquette in the pool.
Interviewer
: It's that thing where people can get quite cross about,
which is: Do you go around clockwise or anticlockwise?
Do you overtake or not?
Jenny Landreth
: People need a rule.
We need to observe the rules of the pool and I'm very keen on that.
Most other swimmers will suffer from lane rage if people are in the wrong
lane of the pool.
And don’t know how to observe the rules of that lane.
Interviewer
: Lane rage – you mean if you’re a kind of slow swimmer and you dare
to go in the fast lane?
Jenny Landreth
: Well, I hate to say it, but it is quite often that gentlemen quite often misjudge
their speed and think they’re slightly faster than they are.
Interviewer
: Ah! The male ego here!
Jenny Landreth
: They quite often don’t like it if there’s a woman swimming faster than them.
So very often they’ll go in the slightly faster lane and should be gently
encouraged by wetiquette to get in the correct lane.
Interviewer
: Know your speed.
Jenny Landreth
: Yes.
