Pool days are the best days, but hidden germs can quickly ruin summer fun. Protect your kids with these six healthy swimming habits:

🚿 Give kids a quick shower to wash away dirt.
🩹 Stay out of the pool if your child is sick or has open cuts.
🙊 Remind your little ones to never swallow pool water, and make sure to swim in adequately chlorinated pools.
🚽 Take children to the restroom every hour so they avoid accidents.
👶 Check swim diapers frequently and change them away from the pool.
👂 Tilt your child's head after swimming and dry ears to avoid swimmer's ear.

Let's work together to keep our kids safe and splashing all summer! 🏊

☀️ Now that summer is back, it's time for our annual reminder to stay safe around water! Whether you are heading to the lake this weekend or hanging out by the pool, keep these essential safety tips top of mind:

👀 Stay focused: Maintain constant supervision. An adult must always be within arm's reach of children in the water.
🔄 The "Water Watcher" Handoff: Always have a clear, verbal handoff when changing the adult in charge of supervision.
📱 Ditch Distractions: Avoid cellphones, alcohol and any other distractions while watching swimmers.
🦺 Gear Up: Everyone should wear a properly fitting life jacket.
🏊‍♀️ Learn to Swim: Consider enrolling both kids and adults in swim lessons.

🚨Pediatrician Update! If you own or visit a private pool, ensure it's fully enclosed by a fence with a childproof gate. We also highly recommend that all parents and caregivers learn CPR. It's a skill that saves lives.

Save this post, share it with a friend and let's keep our community safe this summer! 💚

One of our amazing members surprised Darla at the front desk with this beautiful plant, just to say, "This is for all that you do for each and every one of us." 💚

If you've stepped into our gym, you already know exactly why they did it. Darla is the first smiling face you see, the one who knows your name and the one cheering you on before your workout starts!

But that welcoming energy doesn't stop at the front desk. Our entire team is dedicated to making this gym feel like your second home. Thank you to our incredible members for making our days just as bright!
