watr year-round is irresistible; but there are certain safety
precautions that swimmers, experienced or not, should take:
1.-Respect the ocean. No matter how calm
the water appears, there are currents and tides that can be
deceiving.
2.-Never swim alone, always swim with a partner; it is more
fun and safer.
4.-If your hotel has a roped off area, swim
inside of it.
5.-Check the flags posted on the beach for
safe water conditions.
Black =Extremely dangerous
Red =Dangerous
Yellow =Swim with caution
Green =Swim with pleasure
THE COMMANDMENTS
FOR SUNBATHING
1.-Avoid exposure between 11.00 a.m. and
14.00 hrs. If you must be in the sun between those hours,
please use a strong sunscreen with a SPF, depending on your
skin type.
2.-Do not expose yourself more than 60 minutes
a day during the first 3 days.
3.-Do not underestimate cloudy days. Sun rays can also penetrate
through clouds and cause burns.
4.-Do not feel protected by umbrellas or
beach palapas. The reflections of sun rays from the sand or
water are as harmful as direct exposure.
5.-Do not feel protected while swimming
or underwater. Sun rays can also penetrate the water to certain
depths.
6.-Do not mix medicine and sun exposure.
Oral contraceptives, tranquilizers, perfume and aftershave
lotions produce red dots or other reactions like blisters
that may leave scars on your skin. If you are on medication,
check with your pharmacist.
