question 14 of 20
which of the following is not a safety guideline for swimming?

a. walk or wade into open or unknown bodies of water, as opposed to jumping or diving.

b. always wear flippers and a mask.

c. never go swimming alone.

d. be aware of the threat of hypothermia in cold water or weather.

Explanation:

• Option A: Walking/wading into unknown water is a safety measure to avoid hazards from jumping/diving.
• Option B: Flippers and a mask are not necessary safety gear for all swimming situations (e.g., regular pool swimming doesn't require them), so this is not a standard safety guideline.
• Option C: Swimming alone is dangerous, so "never swim alone" is a safety guideline.
• Option D: Being aware of hypothermia in cold conditions is a safety concern for swimming.

Answer:

B. Always wear flippers and a mask.
