Summertime Safety: It's Time to Make Unforgettable Memories While Keeping Safety a Top Priority

Hey, summer squad parents and kiddos, it’s that time of year again to soak up the sun, make memories, and keep safety in mind. From splashing around to chilling poolside, you and your mini-me can embark on epic adventures. Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area wants to help you and your little ones dive into a summer full of fun with these helpful safety tips.

First up, make a splash while keeping safety in mind. Always keep an eye on your kiddos around all bodies of water, even if there is a lifeguard on duty. And hey, how about making a splash with cute floaties? Don’t forget to lather up with that SPF goodness—like it’s nobody’s business to keep those sun rays at bay.

Also, undoubtedly, staying hydrated should be a top priority. The summer heat is no joke, so let’s make sure we’re sippin' on some water when the sun’s rays are extra fierce. Why not level up your summer style with a fun sun hat and chic shades? It’s all about staying cool and safe.

Lastly, during outdoor adventures, wear helmets when biking or skating, and always check the temperature of playground equipment before letting the little ones loose.

If you're looking for summer activity ideas, check out the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department website for a variety of fun options: https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/parks/things-to-do.
