Which is not a common sign of heat-related illness in swimmers?

Dizziness Cramps Excessive sweating Sudden weight gain

Correct Answer:

Sudden weight gain

Explanation:

Sudden weight gain is not a common sign of heat-related illness in swimmers. When the body overheats, you typically see dizziness from dehydration, muscle cramps from electrolyte imbalance, and heavy sweating as the body tries to cool itself. Weight loss from fluid loss is more typical than weight gain, so a rapid increase in weight doesn’t fit with heat-related issues. If signs show up, get the swimmer out of the heat, into a cooler spot, and hydrate; seek help if symptoms worsen or don’t improve.
