5 Ways to Stay Cool and Protected on the Water This Summer

Summer is right around the corner, and in many places, the heat is already starting to kick in! As temperatures rise, more and more people are starting to make their way to the water. Whether you’re heading to the beach, the lake, or somewhere in between, it’s so important to protect yourself and your family from the sun in the heat of the season. Keep reading for 5 ways to stay cool and protected on the water this summer.

1.  Wear UV Protective Clothing

Sunburn can be extremely painful, so UV protection is essential when you’re spending time outdoors. When you’re in the water all day though, sunscreen can wear off quickly, and it’s easy to forget about reapplying it. UV protective clothing is a great way to ensure you’re safe from the sun, without having to think about it constantly. Not only does it protect your skin from the sun, but lightweight clothing can also help keep you cool on hot days.

2.  Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do to help prevent heat exhaustion during the summer. Keep water with you at all times, especially when you’re in the sun on the water. If forgetting to drink water is typical for you, another way to stay hydrated is with fresh fruits and veggies. Cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges hold lots of water and can be so refreshing on a hot summer day.

3.  Set Up a Beach Tent

If you’re spending the day at the beach, a big tent can be great for keeping your chairs and cooler out of the sun. Anyone who needs a break from the sun can slide their chair underneath and relax in the shade for a bit.

4.  Pack Frozen Treats

While it won’t necessarily protect you from the sun, packing frozen snacks for your day on the water can help keep you cool when the sun is strong. Having a stash of popsicles and other frozen goodies might also help tempt you and your family to take quick breaks in the shade throughout the day.

5.  Use a Floating Canopy

What if you want to be in the water and out of the sun? Our floating shade canopy offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re on a boat at the beach or lake, or just hanging out in your pool, our floating canopy allows you to spend time in the water while being completely protected from the sun.

Not only will you not need to worry about getting burned, but our floating canopies are great for keeping the water cool around you. It’s the perfect way to stay out of the sun and still enjoy being in the water with friends and family! If you already have a canopy for the beach, our float kits can help you get your tent on the water.

 

With summer on its way, keep these 5 things in mind for staying cool and protected on the water this season!
