素素前言
SETC继2021年SETCxWeCare环保体恤之后，再一次协助俱乐部青少年会员开拓自己的项目。我们是铁人三项俱乐部，游泳常常会在公开水域里进行，希望通过我们自己的经历和经验总结，为大家带去更多水上安全意识。
Elyse是一名青少年铁人三项爱好者，我们来听听她是如何总结她的经验。
经过上周日在武汉一场既兴奋又疲惫的比赛后，我终于静下来反思这次经历。原本，这篇文章应该早于我关于台风贝碧嘉来袭的“应对台风”文章《直面台风：应对水灾害的策略、往年灾难教训及必备安全提示》，但我当时觉得应该优先分享如何在台风期间保持安全的建议。不过，正如大家常说的，“迟到总比不到好”，这是我期待已久的2024武汉铁人三项亚洲杯赛和武汉全国铁人三项冠军杯系列赛暨U系列冠军杯赛的总结。
我和妹妹很自豪地代表上海参加了这次的比赛。虽然学业繁忙导致训练不太充分，但我们承诺下次一定会更好地准备。比赛虽然激烈，但武汉当天的天气晴朗，天空蔚蓝。不过，武汉被称为“火炉城市”，湿热的气候让比赛更加具有挑战性。比赛从武汉铁人三项亚洲杯的优秀组运动员开始，接着轮到我们U系列冠军杯的选手。这一天最令我感动的，是有机会与来自世界各地的顶级运动员交流，分享见解，讨论我非常关注的一个问题——水上安全。很多人感到惊讶，但正如我所解释的，即使是强大的运动员有时也会面临水上危险。水上安全意识不仅仅适用于初学者或非游泳者，它是一个普遍性的问题。事实上，作为强壮的游泳者，我们更应该以身作则，成为榜样。当天我印象最深刻的瞬间之一是与赢得男子优秀组比赛的澳大利亚运动员Toby Powers的对话。他提到，我的水上安全意识项目在这种激烈的比赛环境下“非常及时且有意义”。这提醒我们，无论身体准备得多么充分，安全始终是首要的。四川选手林鑫瑜赢得了女子组冠军，而我有幸在酒店大堂与来自山东的亚军选手杨一凡聊天。她鼓励我未来可以挑战优秀组级别，这让我非常感动。她是一个既善良又支持人的榜样。让我最难忘的是那天的热情——每位选手都充满动力，竞争非常激烈。但我还有一个额外的目标：推广水上安全意识。在妹妹和上海队友的支持下，我们尽力向更多的人传播这个信息。这个国际舞台是一个完美的机会，我希望我们的倡导能引起共鸣，让这些运动员将这个信息带回他们的社区。比赛组织者值得特别表扬。他们把水上安全放在首位，安排了安全船、技术官员和志愿者，时刻监控公开水域的游泳比赛。作为水上安全的倡导者，看到他们的周密安排让我倍感安心。向他们致敬！优秀组比赛结束后，就轮到我们参加的2024全国铁人三项U系列冠军组的比赛了。上海队准备充分，我们确保有足够的热身来避免受伤，并尽全力发挥最佳水平。我的队友们很多都创造了个人最佳成绩，而我在比赛结束时已精疲力竭，感到体力完全透支。虽然我没能达到自己的最好状态，但我很感激这次挑战自己的机会，结识了许多很优秀的运动员，并在心理和身体上都得到了成长。
从上海到武汉的旅程虽然漫长而疲惫，但每一刻都值得。我和妹妹为能代表我们所热爱的城市而感到自豪。同样重要的是，我们为推广水上安全意识又迈出了新的一步。这个活动对我们意义重大，我诚邀大家加入我们，一起确保每个人在水中和水边的安全。
让我们共同推动这一倡议。毕竟，水上安全是每个人的责任。“水上安全关乎每个人的生命，尤其对于青少年来说，掌握水上安全知识和技能至关重要。我强烈呼吁大家积极参与水上安全项目，因为这不仅能有效预防溺水事故，还能在紧急情况下帮助他人，展现我们青少年的责任与担当。让我们一起加入水上安全项目，为自己的安全保驾护航，共同营造一个安全、健康的成长环境！加油，你们都是最棒的！”“水上危险可能来自许多方面，例如台风、污染和洪水。我认为尤其需要关注孩子们的安全，特别是在他们进行水上运动时。遗憾的是，许多孩子在游泳或划船等运动中失去了生命。预防措施是拯救生命的关键。在进行任何水上运动之前，充分的准备可以有效减少潜在风险，防止水上事故发生。”
Wuhan Race Reflection: Triumph, Lessons, and Water Safety AwarenessAfter an exciting yet exhausting race last Sunday in Wuhan, I am finally sitting down to reflect on the experience. Originally, this write-up should have preceded my “Facing the Typhoon” article [直面台风：应对水灾害的策略、往年灾难教训及必备安全提示] about Typhoon Bebinca's imminent arrival, but I thought I should prioritize sharing tips on how to stay safe during a typhoon. Nevertheless, as they say, better late than never, here is my long-awaited recap of the 2024 Asia Triathlon Cup and Wuhan National Triathlon U Series Championship.My sister and I proudly represented Shanghai in the youth triathlon. We could have trained harder but schoolwork was too overwhelming—but we pledged to be more prepared next time. Despite the intensity of the competition, Wuhan greeted us with clear blue skies. However, true to its reputation as the “oven city,” the humidity and heat made it especially challenging for the athletes. The day kicked off with the elite athletes from the Asia Triathlon Cup, followed by the U Series athletes like us.One of the most inspiring parts of the day was the opportunity to meet top-tier athletes from around the world, exchange insights, and discuss something deeply important to me—water safety. It surprised many, but as I explained, even strong athletes sometimes face water hazards. Water safety awareness is not just for beginners or non-swimmers; it is a universal issue. In fact, as strong swimmers, we are in a unique position to lead by example.A highlight of my day was a conversation with Australian athlete Toby Powers, who won the men’s race. He remarked that my water safety awareness project was “timely and relevant” for athletes competing in such intense conditions. It was a reminder that no matter how well-prepared we are physically, safety must always be a priority. Lin Xin Yu from Sichuan took home the women’s title, but I was fortunate enough to chat with Yang Yi Fan, the first runner-up from Shandong, at the hotel lobby. Her words of encouragement for me to aim for the elite level in the future were truly heartwarming. She is a kind and supportive role model.What stood out most to me was the energy of the day—every athlete was motivated, and the competition was fierce. But I had an additional goal: promoting water safety awareness. Supported by my sister and fellow Shanghai athletes, we spread the message to as many people as possible. This international platform was the perfect opportunity, and I hoped our campaign would resonate with athletes, who could then carry the message back to their communities.The race organizers deserve special recognition. They made water safety a top priority, ensuring safety boats, technical officials, and volunteers were constantly monitoring the open water swim. As someone who advocates for water safety, it was reassuring to see such diligence. Kudos to the team for their efforts.Once the elite race concluded, it was our turn in the 2024 National Triathlon U Series Championship. Shanghai was well-prepared, and we made sure to warm up adequately to avoid injuries and give our best performance. Many of my teammates achieved personal bests, but by the end, I was completely exhausted, feeling my energy completely drained. Despite not reaching my peak, I am grateful for the opportunity to challenge myself, meet incredible athletes, and grow both mentally and physically.The trip from Shanghai to Wuhan was long and tiring, but it was worth every moment. My sister and I are proud to have represented the city we love, and equally important, to have taken another step in spreading the word about water safety awareness. This campaign means a lot to us, and I invite all of you to join us in ensuring that everyone stays safe in and around water.
Let us continue to grow this initiative together. After all, water safety is everyone’s responsibility."Water safety is essential for everyone, especially for young people. It is crucial to learn the necessary knowledge and skills. I urge everyone to participate in water safety programs, as they not only help prevent drowning but also enable us to assist others in emergencies, reflecting our sense of responsibility. Let’s work together to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all."-- Shanghai Triathlon Team, Coach Peng"Water hazards can come from many sources, such as typhoons, pollution, and floods. I believe it is crucial to focus on the safety of children, especially when they engage in water sports. Tragically, many children have lost their lives during activities like swimming or boating. Preventive measures are key to saving lives. Before participating in any water sport, thorough preparation is essential to minimize potential risks and prevent water-related accidents."![]()
