We are deep into summer and hope that everyone is enjoying the sunshine and balmy weather. Summer vacations, swimming , fishing all should be enjoyed with a few basic pre-cautions. Take a minute to review some common sense Summer Safety Tips we have compiled to keep our friends on track to have a great summer.

To ensure that your children are safe, never leave them unsupervised around water. Here are some tips to keep your child safe around the water this spring:

Water Safety Basics

Teach your child to swim, but remember that younger children shouldn't be left unsupervised around water even if they know how to swim. The AAP recommends that children under age four not be given formal swimming lessons, especially as a primary means to prevent the risk of drowning.
Always wear a US Coast Guard approved life jacket when on a lake, river or ocean while boating, water skiing, jet skiing or tubing.
Warn your children about playing in canals or other fast moving water.
Do not let your child play around any water (lake, pool, ocean, etc.) without adult supervision (even if he is a good swimmer).
Childproof your swimming pool with a fence around your backyard and a fence (at least 4 feet high) around the pool, with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Also consider having a phone poolside and learning CPR in case of emergencies.

Sun Safety Basics

In addition to using a thick layer of sun block with an SPF of 15 or higher once you should be sure to apply it about 30 minutes before you will be out in the sun and reapply it every few hours or even more often if you are swimming.

Not reapplying sun block every few hours, especially when your are in the water or sweating a lot. Even sun block that is waterproof should be reapplied often.

Insect Repellant Basics

Insect repellents with deet are probably the best and most commonly used. Although it is absorbed through your skin, it is generally safe as long as the product has less than 10-30% deet. You should apply the deet product to all exposed skin, except near the eyes, mouth, open cuts or hands of small children (who may rub their eyes or put their fingers in their mouth). Deet is absorbed through the skin, so you may want to limit how much you put on younger children, wash it off as soon as possible, and apply it more to clothing than skin
