SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR SUMMERTIME SWIM

Swimming is a great recreational sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. But it’s important to know how to be safe while you’re in the water. These important swimming safety tips are what you should be aware of before you head out to the water: • Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards, and always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone. • Protect your skin. Limit the amount of direct sunlight you receive between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and wear sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15. • Never leave a young child unattended near water and do not trust a child’s life to another

child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water. • If you have a pool, secure it with appropriate barriers. Many children who drown in home pools were out of sight for less than five minutes and in the care of one or both parents at the time. • Make sure your pool slide is at the deep end, and be sure to slide down feet first while in sitting position so that you don’t injure your head, neck, or back. • Drink plenty of water regularly, even if you’re not thirsty. Avoid drinks with alcohol or caffeine in them.

• When swimming at the lake, avoid drinking water as well as getting it up your nose. Untreated fresh water can contain dangerous microorganisms. • If vacationing at the beach, don’t try to fight or swim against a rip current. You can make it back by swimming parallel to shore. • Before you jump, test the water for depth and debris. If the dock is lit or a boat is nearby, dip a foot or a hand in the water to make sure that there is no electricity in the water.
