Fun in the Sun
KEEP SUMMER SUN AND SPLASHING FUN SAFE

More children drown on holiday than at home, especially in the first few days. We urge parents to think carefully and keep a watchful eye over their children whilst near any water, and prepare properly before going on holiday. Here are some helpful tips:

BEFORE YOU GO
• Make sure you have all your holiday essentials. Sunglasses such as our Babybanz and Kidzbanz protect their eyes from the sun. Hats and Sunsuits protect their delicate skin from the suns harmful rays. For a range of products and further ideas visit our sun protection section
• The water abroad is often unheated so little ones can easily get cold, why not try our Wetsuits to extend the time they can spend in the water. To view the various styles on offer, see our full product range
• Poolsides and beaches can be rough on little feet. Visit our Surfs Up section to view our full range of Beach Shoes
• Swim Nappies are an absolute essential and prevent all those embarrassing leaks. Order one today and don’t get caught out!
• For older children why not bring Goggles or Snorkels so they can have fun underwater and maybe see fish in the sea. Check out our selection

WHEN YOU ARRIVE
• Get hold of local emergency information just in case anything should happen
• Find out if any pools or beaches you visit are supervised by lifeguards
• Make sure you understand any flags or signs being shown at the beach or pool
• Make sure you check the depths in the pool

DURING YOUR STAY
• Use plenty of high factor Sun Cream (25+) to protect their skin both in and out of the water. Splish Splash Splosh recommends an Organic Sun Screen, ideal for use by those who just love running in and out of the water!
• Remember to reapply the Sun Cream when they get out of the water
• Take plenty of drinks especially in hot weather
• Always supervise your children when they are near water
• For long days at the beach Sun Tents can provide that welcome bit of cool shade whilst offering full factor 50+ protection from the sun. Check out our Family Sized Tent and our fabulous NEW Play Tent

• Try using floatation aids to help your child but remember they are not drown proof, children still need to be properly supervised when using them. For babies try Swimseats, for toddlers and children try Float Bands, Floatsuits or Fun Character Floats which help them learn to swim. See our full range
