Happy Summer! Essential Summer Safety Tips

As we embrace the sunny season in beautiful Tampa, it's essential to stay safe while enjoying all that summer has to offer. Here are some valuable summer safety tips to ensure your family stays safe while making the most of the sunny days.

Summer Safety Tips

Be Water Safe

Keep a constant and watchful eye on children and teens near pools, lakes, and other bodies of water. Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, so vigilance is key.

Stay Hydrated

The Florida heat can cause your body to lose water and essential electrolytes through sweat. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, and make sure your pets stay hydrated too!

Wear Sunscreen and Reapply

Children are especially vulnerable to sun damage. Apply sunscreen regularly, find shade when possible, and cover up with hats and protective clothing.

Grill Safely

Check gas grill hoses for cracks, holes, and leaks before use. Keep children away from the grill, and ensure it’s at least two feet away from decks, siding, branches, and any outdoor equipment that can catch fire quickly. Never grill indoors, in the garage, or in any enclosed area.

Be Aware of Rip Currents

Tampa Bay's beautiful beaches are a summer favorite, but it's important to be aware of rip currents. Always swim at beaches with lifeguards, heed warning flags, and know how to escape a rip current by swimming parallel to the shore until you are out of the current.
