Time for a Beach Escape? 4 Vacation Safety Tips for Families! by Dr. Heidi Renner

A family trip to the beach can create amazing lifelong memories. Here are four safety tips to keep it a paradise vacation! 

• Drink lots of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Dehydration can happen fast. 
• Stay within swimming limits and never swim alone. 
• Watch out for rip currents. If you get caught in one, don’t try to swim against it. Swim parallel to the shore until you are out of it. 
• Keep an eye on your kids and make sure they understand rules about strangers.

Oh, and don't forget to build an epic sandcastle!
