or they can be sent to our email at info@earbandit.comYou can greatly reduce the chances of you, your friends or family becoming drowning victims or being injured if you follow a few simple safety tips:
Learn to swim. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. This includes both adults and children.
Look for lifeguards. Be sure the area is well supervised by lifeguards before you or others in your group enter the water.
Pay attention to kids. Make sure an adult is constantly watching young children swimming, playing or bathing in water. Do not participate in any distracting activities while supervising children around water.
Never swim alone or in unsupervised places. Teach your children to always swim with a buddy.
Don’t drink alcohol. Avoid alcoholic beverages before or during swimming, boating or water-skiing. Never drink alcohol while supervising children around water. Teach teenagers about the danger of drinking alcohol while swimming, boating or water skiing.
Spit it out. To prevent choking, never chew gum or eat while swimming, diving or playing in water.
Check the water depth. The American Red Cross recommends 9 feet as a minimum depth for diving or jumping.
Watch out for the dangerous “toos.” Don’t get too tired, too cold, too far from safety, exposed to too much sun or experience too much strenuous activity.
Note the weather. Pay attention to local weather conditions and forecasts. Stop swimming at the first indication of bad weather.
Use sunscreen. Apply sunscreen on all exposed skin to ensure maximum skin protection. Hats, visors and shirts are recommended to prevent overexposure.
Don’t take risks. Don’t take chances by overestimating your swimming skills.
Wear a life jacket. Some facilities provide them for free. If you can’t swim, wear one. Make sure others in your group do as well.
Keep toddlers in shallow play areas. Zero-depth entry pools have water games, sprays and fountains with no appreciable water depth.
Follow age & height instructions at waterparks. Restrictions apply to many rides in a waterpark. Size and coordination is critical to safety inside open water flumes.
Read all posted signs. Follow the rules and regulations given by lifeguards. Ask questions if you are not sure about a correct procedure, especially at waterparks.
Watch water depth. When you go from one waterpark attraction to another, note that the water depth may be different and the attraction should be used in a different way.
Warn kids about swallowing park water. Chlorine and water pH readings are usually posted at large waterparks.
Use plastic swim diapers. Many parks require them. Note where changing areas are located and use these designated, sanitized changing spots.
Notice health restrictions. Guests with neck or back problems, heart conditions, prevalence toward motion sickness or pregnancy may not ride high-speed or rapid-descent rides.
We’ve always wanted to add a sunscreen to our product line up and we finally have! Planet Sun Sunscreen is top notch and won’t disappoint you. Check out the sunscreen as well as a handy travel kit made up of sunscreen essentials on WWW.EARBANDIT.COM
