Summer Safety

Memorial Day is fast approaching and summer fun is in sight. Summer fun means more time spent outdoors and possibly in or near water. In all the fun it is important to keep safety a priority.

Here are some tips to keep your summer healthy and accident free.

• Remember to wear sunscreen and bug repellent. Don't forget to reapply.
• Protect your eyes and wear sunglasses.
•  Prevent dehydration. Take a break in the shade and get water about every 15- 20 minutes.
•  Wear your helmet when riding bikes, scooters, or roller blades.
•  Be safe in water. Wear life jackets not floaties. Floaties give a false sense of safety. Always supervise children. Don't assume someone else is watching. 
•  Never hike, swim, bike, or explore alone. Use the buddy system and tell someone where you are going and when you will be back.

Here at The Academy of Gateway safety comes first, along with the fun.
