Summertime also means funtime. When you're having fun outside, it's sometimes easy to forget a very important thing....BE SAFE! Slow down and think about what you're doing. Ask yourself, "Wait a minute...is this safe?" Here are some things to remember...
Catch Some Rays, Not A Sunburn
When you're cruising around in the sun, don't forget the sunscreen! Sunscreen helps to protect your skin from a nasty burn. Have a friend or parent help you to cover those hard to reach spots like your back and shoulders.
Don't Swim Alone
Swimming is totally fun, and it's even MORE fun when you swim with someone else. Have a swimming buddy and keep an eye on each other. Always let an adult know before you take a dip so that they can watch you splash about safely.
Buckle Up
Whether you're in a train, plane or automobile make sure to give yourself a hug by snapping on that seatbelt. If you're floating on a boat strap on that life jacket!
Stay Cool
Summer can be HOT HOT HOT. Drink plenty of water and take breaks in the shade...your body will thank you for it.
Protect Your Melon
Every kid should have a helmet to wear when they take a bike ride. Helmets are a cool way to keep your noggin' safe. You could even decorate your helmet with stickers and make it special to you!
