Summertime and water play go hand and hand during the Summer months. Have a fun and safe summer with your children with these Water Play Safety Tips.
1. Keep Your Eyes Locked in at ALL TIMES. Stay focused on your precious little ones and save the good book for your personal beach or pool time. Don’t depend on anyone else to watch your children in the water no matter who the are. If you or one of your children need to take a bathroom break. Signal for everyone to get out of the pool.
2. Bright Colored Swimsuit- dress all your children in the same color bright color. Always remember the color of the swim suit to alert authorities in case they become lost, plus they will be easy to spot while you are watching them.
3. Life Jackets a Must for little ones especially while on a boat. Express this to your children so they will know the importance of wearing a life jacket. To send a strong message put one on yourself to reinforce the family rule.
4. Look for the GREEN flag at the beach. It is usually located by the lifeguard deck. The green flag let’s you know it is safe to swim.
5. Observe if there is a lifeguard on duty. Search locations that have one or more lifeguards. In case of an emergency, you have a trained professional on hand and necessary backup to easy your situation.
5. Always use a sun block on children. Protect and prevent sunburned skin. And don’t forget to reapply sunblock between water breaks.
6. Keep water on hand. Store bottles of water in a cooler to keep cold for your family to remain hydrated. The sun can be draining when directly exposed for a period of time.
7. Every 30 minutes or so, call everyone out the pool for a break. At this time you can access your child as to whether or not they have had too much sun and are lethargic, need a snack or something to drink, taken in too much water, or just need to relax.
