When I was 16, was in June and we had just moved to Florida. I was so excited I could picture that golden tan that I wanted to achieve. I remember the words of my father as we headed out to the beach with our towels and radio in search of the perfect tan. "Be careful, this Florida sun is stronger than you're used to, you need something with at least SPF 15 at any time, 30 is better, but I want to be realistic and often again." He rolled his eyes when we leftbut took the bottle held with us. Guess what ', it turns out he was right. The first time I was always aware of the warmth of Florida sunshine was years later. Fast forward to the summer of ten years, I was in a house in central Florida plane to New York, sitting in a window seat with the arm on the windowsill. I wonder how long in Orlando, where the pilot communicated to us, looking out the window, was seen at Cape Canaveral, but I was at this timenoticed that my arm still on the window sill, had become significantly warmer. The truth is that 'many of Florida's climate is sub tropical so the sun is stronger than the rest of most of America.
Here are some of the best tips to remember when headed to the beach this summer:
First, consult a doctor to follow - use sunscreen. They have everything from SPF 2 SPF 60, SPF, but what, and what it does? SPF stands for sun protection factor and calculatein minutes - the number of minutes it takes to redden the skin unprotected compared to protected skin. You can get 10 minutes for each number in terms of an SPF of 2 will give you twenty minutes of protection in the sun before the skin begins to pale red when varying the darkest skin.
Make sure children are well covered, make sunscreen specifically for children now in convenient spray, so you can take to their rapid and Their bodies can twist to go play in the sand. Forthe rest of us are still in protective lotions, oils and gels, there are lighter versions for those who face and your skin from UV rays. For the application of sunscreen can apply the rule of common sense again after already swimming or if you have been sweating like to play volleyball. When you begin to feel, hot or cover the skin, may also have time to go on a head covering whatever the sun will be out of sight.
Another wonderful shade provider canUmbrellas. Appear more and more these days on the beaches, come in all shapes and sizes and are useful in the sense of the sun far from you. They are ideal for families with small children and those who love the beach, but I will not get much, if ever so
Deck chairs are also back, again in all shapes and sizes, some with boxes, bags and umbrellas attached, you can even those with drink holders and footrest, if you wantreally stretch, without the sand. They have short, that sit right in the surf, sand, and the larger and better in the loose sand to shore.
Many Florida beaches have lifeguards on duty, if you have small children with you is recommended to use this service and frequent these beaches. Lifeguard stations are scattered along the beaches and easy to spot, because many of them are colored. Lifeguards will beTraining in CPR, First-display and usually have a direct line of police and emergency services. What if a beach that does not have a lifeguard and is to go in case of emergency? Fortunately, in today's world there are people with mobile phones around the world, but you should always take some small first aid kit with you, or at least in the car and know where to find the nearest help.
Two of the most common emergencies on our beaches appear to be jellyfish stingsand rip currents. You can tell if you have been stung by a jellyfish, because the area affected starts burning or itching may indicate red and can swell or irregular. Seeking medical assessment is to be preferred depending on the severity of the bite, but is not readily available, there are things you can do. First remove all the tentacles can be seen, but be sure to protect themselves against getting stung while in this way, even wash the surface with fresh water, this canRelease more toxins and cause a further response to the region that use salt water rinse or anything. white wine vinegar to help decrease symptoms, it is also recommended that the person is given acetaminophen or ibuprofen or pain by allergies, always be sure to ask allergies. Immobilize the area to keep the spread of the toxin, and the person as still as possible. Do They sit or lie down, waiting for help, or help a car waiting for transport to othermedical care.
Rip currents are unfortunately fairly common in this area. Rip currents, noise can be easily defined areas of water to the sea from the shore, and are most common on windy days. The best way to get to swim free in a rip current parallel to shore. If the worst thing you can do, you're caught in a rip current is panic use it to breathe and can drown. Keep calm and if there is a nearby, tryAttention of the lifeguard. If there is no lifeguard swim near the shore until you hear the train is gone, when you think you can escape so try not to panic.
Never go to a beach and see a wave of those colored flags? I hope you have. These flags are a way for swimmers to learn the water, what, if any, should be in water so even if you go to the beaches of Florida have a lifeguard not, you can still secure. Here are the colorsfrequently used and that usually means:
Condition Green - are favorable for swimming, low-risk
Yellow - Moderate Risk
Red - High Risk
Viola - Marine parasites
About Red Menace Red -. Water closed to public use
If you're on the beach, where you can risk a flag and a lifeguard nearby, you can ask for more information.
So, enjoy the beach and out to safety.
