Summer Is The Perfect Time To Hit The Pool, Beach, Or Go Out In The Boat in San Diego. Make Sure That You And Your Family Are Safe By The Water.
Summer is the perfect time to get out on the water in San Diego and have fun with the kids. But, before you do, you need to make sure that you and your children know the proper skills and follow the rules so that your time will also be safe. The National Library of Medicine and the American Academy of Pediatrics offers some safety tips before you hit the water in Southern California.
Learn to swim. Even if you are a great swimmer, bring a buddy along with you so you are not alone. It is always good to have a second pair of eyes in case of sudden accidents.
Basic Safety
Always obey all rules and posted signs. They are there for a reason! One of the most important rules is to never mix alcohol and swimming. It can be a deadly combination and impairs your judgment, balance, and coordination. Alcohol also affects your swimming and diving skills and reduces your ability to stay warm.
If you are in the ocean, look for a lifeguard on duty and don't swim until you see one. Swim in supervised areas only. Also, do not dive until you know the depth of the water and have made sure that it is clear. Check the weather forecast and stop swimming if you see a storm coming.
Swimming with Kids
If you have kids along, make sure there is a lifeguard or another adult who knows about water rescue and is CPR certified. If you are in the ocean, look for a lifeguard on duty and don't swim until you see one. Swim in supervised areas only.
During the summer, both the pool and the waterways tend to get congested. Keep your family safe this summer by following these simple tips.
