What is your guess?
How hot do you think it is in this car?
It does not take long for a car to heat up. Always check the back seat for kiddos and fur babies!

Is your teen spending time by the water? Remind them to check the weather radar before
leaving for the day. A change in the weather can quickly cause a change in the water conditions.
Rain, wind, and storms can make the water rough, choppy, and difficult to swim in.

Swimming can be a great form of exercise and relaxation, but it's important to take breaks
when you need them. Remind teens to get out of the water when they start feeling tired or
winded or when the water starts to look rough and choppy.

Signs like ‘No Diving,’ ‘Rip Currents,’ and ‘Life Jacket Required’ are there for a reason. Talk to
your teen about looking for and following posted signs and choosing their swimming spot
carefully. Ask them to always swim in an area with a lifeguard on duty if it’s an
option.
