from the pool when it’s not in use so children aren’t
tempted to play without supervision.
Bike Safely
Taking some safety precautions can make bike rides
even more enjoyable. Before heading out, check all
riders’ bikes to ensure everything is in good operating
condition, including brakes, tires, chains and
gears.
Always wear a helmet and consider guards to protect
your knees, elbows and hands in the event of a
fall. Avoid riding at night, when you’re less visible to
drivers, and wear bright colors that make you stand
out. Drive with traffi c (not against it) and follow the
same rules as a car when it comes to street signs and
intersections. Remain alert at all times and avoid
distractions such as music that can prevent you
from hearing warning sounds such as a car horn.

THE
spectrum are heat cramps, which may ease if you
take a break, drink water and cool off .
More serious heat exhaustion may occur when
the body’s temperature rises to 100-102 F and can
include an inability to maintain physical activity,
dizziness, nausea, dehydration and rapid heart rate.
Try to cool down and drink water, but if symptoms
worsen or vomiting occurs, seek medical help.
Heat stroke may cause death or permanent disability.
It is characterized by a body temperature of 104-
106 F or higher, heat exhaustion symptoms, trouble
walking and neurological diffi culties such as slurred
speech or confusion.
Be Smart Around Water
Drowning can happen quickly and silently. Every
day, an average of 10 people of all ages die in the
United States from accidental, non-boating related
drowning. Always swim with a friend and keep
watch, especially where water isn’t clear and underwater
obstacles may be present. When boating,
always wear a life jacket. At home, install fencing
at least 4 feet high around pools and remove toys

Family Features With school out for summer, children will
be away from teachers and coaches who
might be trained in fi rst aid and CPR,
making it crucial for parents and summer caregivers
to brush up on safety tips and life-saving skills.
No matter where your summer plans take you,
make sure you’re equipped with the knowledge and
tools you need for safe, fun days in the sun.
Keep a First Aid Kit on Hand
Having basic fi rst aid supplies handy lets you take
care of minor boo-boos so the summer play can
carry on. Plan to include cleansers, wound dressings,
bandages and tape; antibiotic ointment; scissors
and tweezers; bug bite treatment; and overthe
counter medications such as pain relievers and
antihistamines for allergic reactions.
Learn CPR
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any
age. Summer activities like swimming, boating and
other watersports can lead to drowning or serious
injuries, but so can outdoor play and sporting
events in extreme heat. In fact, more than 23,000
children experience cardiac arrest outside of the
hospital each year, according to the American Heart
Association, approximately 40% of which are related
to sports.
Immediate CPR and automated external defi brillator
(AED) use can double or even triple someone’s
chance of surviving cardiac arrest. For teens and
adults, Hands-Only CPR could save their life. For
infants and children, CPR with breaths is recommended.
Studies show children as young as 9 years old can
learn and retain CPR skills. Th is summer, there are
many learning options available to families, including
online CPR courses, local in-person Heartsaver
courses, CPR Anytime Training Kits and CPR kiosks,
available in public places and airports across
the country.

can take a toll. On one end of the heat stress
