dive into these water safety tips to keep your kids safe
while they splash around in the sun!

3. LEARN TO SWIM
The best thing anyone
can do to stay safe is to
learn to swim. If your
child is new to
swimming, make sure
they wear a life vest at
all times.

4. WEAR SUNSCREEN
Apply sunscreen before
leaving home and
reapply throughout the
day. Use a broad
spectrum sunscreen with
at least SPF 15 to avoid
the harmful UV rays that
can cause harmful skin
damage.

5. LIMIT SUN EXPOSURE
Dress appropriately –
wear a hat and a rash
guard if you’ve been
overexposed to the
sun. Especially stay in
the shade if you feel
too hot.

6. KEEP HYDRATED
Drink plenty of water while
out in the sun. Avoid sodas
and sugary drinks that can
dehydrate you.

7. FOLLOW THE RULES
Review the rules with your
children before letting them
loose. Be mindful of the
depth of the water at each
attraction or play area.
Pay attention to the signs
and sirens at water parks,
and of the nearest lifeguards.

8. STICK TOGETHER
Teach your child to use
the buddy system and
designate a meeting place
in case your group gets
separated.
