在户外冰窟中冬泳---这不是笑谈吧？！(译文)
在芬兰,一个最具异国情调的活动,那就是在户外进行冬泳.芬兰人把这项运动叫作Avantouinti,意思是”在冰窟中游泳”.其方式是在公开水域或海面切开封冻的冰面,在里面游上几分钟或仅仅是短时间的浸泡.
Avantouinti这项运动近年来在芬兰正在蓬勃的开展起来,其似乎已在芬兰的传统运动项目中得以立足,且占有一席之地.随着城市间有效地安全组织和公开水域泳场的建立,冬泳已变得十分的普及和流行.具估计50万的芬兰人有10%的人尝试过冬泳,12万人正规地参加冬泳.对这种运动的喜好已远不止简单地处于好奇和为了身体健康的原因.冬泳已经被公认为是可以给人带来娱乐,使人精力变得充沛的运动,其可以提高对寒冷的忍受力应激力.铁杆的冬泳者即便在-30℃的条件下也不愿意放弃冬泳.一些冬泳者说冬泳使他们一天心情舒畅,一些人还说冬泳可以帮助他们抵御流感.
如果你以前没有尝试过冬泳,那么在你要参加这项运动时,你最好要找几个愿意帮助你的朋友,从而保证在一些情况下会给予你一些力所能及的帮助.由于安全的原因,对于那些经验不足的冬泳者,推荐去到冬泳协会的公共冬泳场进行冬泳,该场地整个冬季都开放.冬泳者要小心并按照和遵从那里所提供的冬泳指南行事.当你入水时,你的脚要穿些防护的用品.橡胶制的拖鞋和毛袜将提供给泳者穿好使用.当然要记住酒后和身体有病是不能冬泳的.
铁杆的冬泳热衷者认为,将冬泳和桑拿浴相结合是没有什么必要的.但是还是有很多的人垂青于在冬泳前或冬泳后进行桑拿浴.我们不提倡桑拿浴后直接进入水中,反之亦然.事实上从温度比较低的更衣室换好泳衣,然后再进入水中是比较安全稳妥的.在入水前让你的身体充分的适应户外寒冷的空气.一般情况下冬泳的水温在-1℃左右,其和热桑拿浴的温度差在80-100℃,而与比较冷的更衣室相比较其温差仅是20℃.当温差太大时,加重了心脏的负担并使血压发生变化,从而使你头昏眼花.不要一头扎入水中使头部先接触水,甚至弄湿头部也不提倡,因为这会增加热量的损失,使体温骤降.由于温度的平衡被破坏,加速了体内的新陈代谢,而且进行桑拿将会增加流体的损失,所以冬泳者要在泳前多喝一些水,最好是一些饮料.
  一但你从温和的桑拿浴房走出,然后再进入冰水中游泳,那将是多么美妙的惬意的一次炼浴呀.但一定要记住无论是你走出桑拿浴房,还是泳后返回桑拿浴房,都不要忘记要在雪花翻飞中去感受和适应一下你所在的环境,而且这个过程只需几分钟.

(附原文)Winter Swimming in the Outdoors – Are You Joking?!
ffice:word" />One of the most exotic activities you can experience in ffice:smarttags" />Finland is definitely winter swimming in the outdoors! Avantouinti - as the Finns call it - literally "ice hole swimming" means swimming for a few minutes at a time or taking a quick dip in a large opening cut through the ice of a frozen lake or a sea.
   Avantouinti has recently seen a renewed interest and it seems that it is regaining a foothold in the Finnish traditions. The popularity of winter swimming has grown in Finland with cities organising safe, public swimming holes in lakes and the sea. An estimated 500,000 Finns - 10 percent of the population - have tried it, and some 120,000 are regular winter swimmers. The hobby is frequently taken up out of simple curiosity or for health reasons. Ice hole swimming is considered a pleasant, invigorating pastime, which improves tolerance of cold and stress. The toughest Finnish swimmers do not want to miss out a swim even when the temperature reaches 30 degrees Celsius below zero. Some swimmers say it makes them feel fresh throughout the day, some claim it helps build resistance to the common flu.
If you have not tried winter swimming before, find a few friends willing to help, so that someone is able to you give you a hand if anything happens. For safety reasons it is recommended to inexperienced winter swimmers to use the public winter swimming places maintained throughout the winter by the Avantouinti Society Suomen Latu. Swimmers should be careful and be sure to follow the guidelines given. One practical advice is to wear something on your feet when walking to the water. Rubber slippers or woolly socks are handy and you can swim with them on. It is also important to remember not to go swimming after drinking alcohol or while ill.
The die-hard fans of winter swimming do not necessarily associate ice hole swimming with the sauna, although most appreciate a hot sauna before and after the relatively cool swim. It is not recommended to go into the water directly from the heat of the sauna or vice versa. It is actually safer to go swimming from the relative coolness of the changing room. Let your body get accustomed to the cold air outside before taking a plunge. Generally the water temperature is approximately one degree above zero and the difference in temperature between the heat of the sauna and the water can be 80-100 degrees Celsius, while from the changing room it is only some 20 degrees. The difference in temperature puts stress on the heart and the change in blood pressure can cause dizziness. Never jump into the water head first! Even getting the head wet is not suggested, since it increases heat loss and can lead to hypothermia. Since changes in temperature balance speed up metabolism and going to the sauna increases fluid loss, swimmers should remember to drink plenty of liquid, preferably in the form of warm beverages.
Once you have tried winter swimming in a frozen lake after the gentle heat of the sauna, you will know what a proper bath is! However, also remember to try throwing yourself in a snowdrift after the heat of the saunaâ
