Here are 5 tips to help you keep your kids safe this summer:<\/p>\n

1. Use a life vest.<\/h4>\n

A life vest is essential for babies and kids who are new to swimming, but it\u2019s also beneficial for bigger kids who are more capable swimmers – especially if you\u2019ll be boating! We love these ones by Salus Marine<\/a>. They\u2019re super comfy (so kids won\u2019t mind wearing them for hours) and designed to offer unprecedented safety and security for babies and kids.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Use the buddy system.
\n<\/b><\/b><\/h4>\n

Even if you\u2019re a strong swimmer, you\u2019re always safer with a buddy looking out for you. If you\u2019ve got little ones in the water, make sure that buddy is an adult.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Never leave your little ones unattended.
\n<\/b><\/h4>\n

Accidents can happen it seconds, so it\u2019s important to make sure that kids have constant supervision while they\u2019re in the water. If you\u2019re swimming with a toddler, a good rule is to always have them within arm\u2019s reach of you so that you can keep them safe.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Be Prepared.
\n<\/b><\/h4>\n

Keep a first-aid kit<\/a> ready in case of any accidents or mishaps, and brush up on your CPR skills to get ready for the season. Hopefully you\u2019ll never have to use them, but it\u2019s always better to know what to do in case of an emergency.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0Use sunscreen!
\n<\/b><\/h4>\n

A nasty sunburn will quickly put an end to your outdoor fun, so make sure to practice sun safety and make sure that everyone wears sunscreen<\/a>. Look for water resistant formulas<\/a>\u00a0that will stand up to all of your time spent by the water.<\/p>\n
