Summer Tips
Water Safety



Read the signs at the pool or beach and obey them!
Walk, don’t run around the edges of the pool
Look before you leap or dive.
Never swim alone. Stay with your children in the water, or
have them use a “buddy system”.
Don’t go farther or deeper than you can handle.
Play carefully, playing roughly in the water can be dangerous.
Don’t leave young children alone in the water. It only
takes a few minutes and a few centimetres of water for
them to drown.
Drop-in and hang out all year long!

Sun Smarts

Protect your skin from the sun everyday from late spring
through to early fall.
Protect your skin from 10:00 am—4:00 pm
Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, a hat and sunglasses.
Use sunscreen and lip balm with SPF 30. Apply it 15 to 30
minutes prior to sun exposure and don’t forget your ears,
nose, and neck.
A tan does not provide enough protection against the
sun’s rays. Actually, having a tan means that your skin has
been damaged already by UV radiation.
Teach children to be “sun-smart”.
