He aha ke kapa ʻauʻau?

ʻIke ka poʻe ʻauʻau i ka waiwai o nā apo lana i ka wai. ʻOiai i loko o ka loko wai a i ʻole ka moana, hiki i kēia mau mea hoʻoheheʻe ke kōkua iā ʻoe e noho lana a hoʻolilo i ka ʻauʻau ʻana i mea leʻaleʻa. Akā he aha ke ʻano o kēia mau apo? ʻIke ʻia, ʻaʻole hoʻokahi pane.

Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua kapa ʻia kēia mau apo ʻo "nā apo ʻauʻau" a i ʻole "pool rings." Eia nō naʻe, ma nā wahi ʻē aʻe o ka honua, hele lākou ma nā inoa like ʻole. Ma Beretania, no ka laʻana, ua kapa ʻia lākou "nā apo ʻauʻau" a i ʻole "nā apo lana," ʻoiai ma Australia, ʻike ʻia lākou ʻo " ʻauʻau paipu." Ma Kelemānia, lohe paha ʻoe iā lākou i kapa ʻia ʻo "badeschwimmreifen," ʻo ia ka unuhi ʻana i "nā apo ʻauʻau ʻauʻau."

ʻOiai nā inoa like ʻole, hoʻokahi ke kumu o kēia mau apo. Hoʻolālā ʻia lākou e hāʻawi i ka hau a me ke kākoʻo no ka poʻe ʻoluʻolu ʻole i ka wai hohonu a i ʻole e aʻo nei i ka ʻauʻau. Hana ʻia nā apo ʻauʻau me nā mea paʻa ʻole, e like me vinyl, rubber, a i ʻole plastic. Loaʻa iā lākou ma nā ʻano nui a me nā waihoʻoluʻu, hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou i nā keiki a me nā pākeke.

ʻOiai pili pinepine ʻia nā apo ʻauʻau me ka leʻaleʻa i ka lā, ʻo ka palekana ka mea nui. He mea nui ka nānā ʻana i nā keiki i ko lākou pāʻani ʻana i loko a i ʻole a puni ka wai, a e hōʻoia i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea ʻauʻau kūpono. I ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke apo ʻauʻau, pono e hahai i nā ʻōlelo a ka mea hana a ʻaʻole loa e hoʻohana iā ia i loko o ka wai ma mua o ka mea i hoʻolālā ʻia.

Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā apo ʻauʻau no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa wai a me ka lāʻau lapaʻau. Ke ulu nui nei ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa wai no ka mea ke hāʻawi nei lākou i kahi ala haʻahaʻa e hoʻoikaika ai i ke olakino cardiovascular a hoʻomaikaʻi i ka leo ʻiʻo a me ka maʻalahi. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā apo ʻauʻau e hoʻohui i kahi paʻakikī ʻē aʻe i kāu hana aqua aerobics a i ʻole ma ke ʻano he kākoʻo i ka wā hoʻoikaika kino.

Nui,nā apo ʻauʻauhe mea hoʻohui maikaʻi loa i nā hana pili wai, inā ʻo ka ʻauʻau, hoʻomaha, a hoʻoikaika kino paha. Hāʻawi lākou i kahi ana palekana koʻikoʻi a hiki ke hoʻohauʻoli i ka ʻauʻau no nā poʻe o nā makahiki āpau a me nā pae akamai. A ʻoiai paha lākou e hele ma nā inoa like ʻole ma nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua, ʻike ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he mea leʻaleʻa a kūpono hoʻi no ka leʻaleʻa i ka wai.

I ka hopena,nā apo ʻauʻauua puni nā makahiki he mau makahiki a noho mau i kahi koho kaulana no ka poʻe hauʻoli e hoʻolimalima manawa i ka wai. Loaʻa iā lākou nā pōmaikaʻi ākea, mai ka palekana i hoʻonui ʻia i nā koho hoʻoikaika kino. No laila, ʻaʻohe mea āu i koho ai e kapa iā lākou, ʻo nā apo ʻauʻau he mea pono i ka hōʻiliʻili wai.
