How to relax on the beach

1. Protect yourself from the sun. During your stay on the beach, do not forget about sunscreen, preferably waterproof. Apply it half an hour before you start sunbathing, and then renew every two hours. Remember that the higher the sun protection factor of the cream, the higher your chances of not getting sunburn and avoid the harmful effects of sunlight.
2. Drink more water. One bottle of water is not enough. According to studies, to avoid dehydration in hot weather on the beach, you need to drink at least 3 liters of water per day. This is especially true for those who are fond of beach sports.
3. Do not drink alcohol. Alcohol and swimming are incompatible. Alcohol can disrupt the clarity of your thoughts and provoke dangerous situations. It also speeds up the dehydration process.
4. Take a first aid kit with you. A small first aid kit will help you avoid a bad day due to accidental cuts or sunburn.
5. Avoid currents. Currents can be found on both sea and river beaches and pose a potential danger to swimmers. If you fall within, try to stay calm and swim parallel to the shore.
6. Observe water safety. If you decide to ride a water scooter, motor boat or canoe, do not forget to wear a life jacket.
