21. The Cramp
Let us look at a risk that is frequently disregarded but can affect even the best swimmers: cramping in the muscles. In addition to being uncomfortable, these abrupt, excruciating contractions can be fatal in open waters. These incapacitating spasms can occur suddenly due to the combination of physical strain and cold water temperatures. Imagine being unable to stay afloat far from shore due to a muscle spasm. A regular swim could swiftly devolve into a struggle for survival in such a situation, with the very real possibility of drowning. This depressing fact serves as yet another reminder of how dangerous and unpredictable swimming in the water can be.

22. Sun Burn
It is not instantly fatal, but do not undervalue the possibility of being sunburned while exploring the ocean. When it comes to sun exposure, the sea poses a double whammy since, in addition to reflecting the sun’s rays, the water’s surface has a way of removing your meticulously placed sunscreen. Your skin may become prone to excruciating burns and permanent harm as a result of this combination. Invest in high-quality, water-resistant sunscreen to outsmart the sun and sea. By taking this easy precaution, you can enjoy your time in the ocean without having to deal with the unpleasant memento of inflamed red skin.
