Summer is coming and the days of pool and beach with the kids. In these places the safety of children is the most important. The swimming is a very complete sport for adults and children, among Benefits that it has for children, we can highlight that it increases appetite, relaxes, improves balance, coordination, blood circulation and above all it is a fun way for children to practice physical exercise.
The skin care It is another factor that we should not neglect. Before leaving home or when arriving at the pool or beach, we must give them the sunscreen with the appropriate factor so that the skin of the child does not suffer burns and after the bath it is convenient to shower them with running water and give them a good amount of moisturizer by whole body.
Refering to Child safety at the beach and pool Most importantly, some tips that can help us are the following: when the child does not know how to swim, we must have a flotation system such as the sleeves, the bubble or the float. As a hygiene measure, children should go through the shower before and after entering the pool. To avoid gastroenteritis or infections should not drink water from the pool.
We must also instill in the kids what behaviors are dangerous in a pool, such as throwing themselves near the curb or in an unwise way. The greatest responsibility, we have the parents and under no circumstances should we lose sight of the little ones, at a certain age they can be left alone, but always controlling them at a distance. In community pools, you must know where the lifeguard is in case there is an emergency.
Although it seems an exaggeration what we just told you, you must remember, that the drowning It is the most serious of the accidents that can occur in the water, but there are also others like falls, digestion cuts, etc.
Finally, in accident case We must remain calm, have the emergency telephone number at hand and try while the professionals arrive, the resuscitation maneuvers.
If we have this kind of precautions, surely both the kids and the parents will enjoy a fun day at the pool or on the beach.
