Life jackets as mandatory attire are included in every Splash Pass sold at Deerhurst. And to make sure everyone plays it safe, Deerhurst is spreading their Back to the Beach advice including:
- WATER EVERYONE It's important to drink lots of water while outside, not just swim in it. Taking breaks every hour to sip can help. If you or the kids don't like the taste of plain water, Deerhurst's Shizen Spa suggests adding cucumber slices, citrus, mint or berries to your H2O.
- JACKETS REQUIRED Make sure to wear your life jacket, in the right size and properly fastened, whenever you are boating or doing water-based activities. Sunscreen is also key. Remember, it takes about a shot glass full of lotion to ensure sufficient coverage on your body. Reapply regularly, especially after swimming or when sweating.
