🌊🏊♀️ Swim Safe This Summer! 🏊♂️🌊 At Pediatric Associates, we want all of our families to enjoy the water safely this season — whether you're at the pool, lake, or beach.
Here are our Top Swimming Safety Tips to help protect your little ones:
✅ 1. Always Watch Kids Around Water Stay within arm’s reach of young children and never rely solely on floaties or toys for safety.
🛟 2. Life Jackets Save Lives Use U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets for kids when boating or swimming in open water.
🚫 3. No Running Near Pools Wet surfaces = slips and falls! Encourage walking, not running.
🚿 4. Teach Kids Water Rules Early Practice entering the water safely, no diving in shallow areas, and how to call for help.
🚨 5. Learn CPR In an emergency, knowing CPR can make all the difference. It’s a great skill for every caregiver to have!
☀️ Let’s make this a safe, splash-filled summer for everyone!
Have questions about swim safety, water-related injuries, or swim readiness? Call us — we're here to help.
☀️ Happy First Day of Summer! ☀️ Summer is officially here — and while it's a season full of fun, it's also a time to stay on top of your child’s health and safety! Here are our Top 5 Summer Health Tips to help your family enjoy a safe and healthy season:
👒 1. Sun Safety is a Must Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) 15–30 minutes before going outside — and don’t forget to reapply every 2 hours or after swimming!
💧 2. Hydration is Key Kids can get dehydrated quickly in the heat. Make water the go-to drink throughout the day — especially during outdoor play.
🦟 3. Bug & Tick Protection Use insect repellent when playing outside, especially in grassy or wooded areas. After outdoor play, check for ticks!
🚲 4. Safety Gear Matters Whether biking, skating, or scootering — helmets are a must! Summer is a common time for preventable injuries, so always use proper gear.
😴 5. Keep a Routine While bedtimes may shift, kids still thrive on consistency. Try to keep a healthy sleep schedule to avoid crankiness and keep immune systems strong.
🌈 Wishing all our families a happy, healthy, and safe summer! Need a wellness check, camp physical, or have a summer concern? We’re here for you! ☀️
