Master Water Safety

掌握水上安全

Swimming and other water activities are excellent ways to get the physical activity and health benefits needed for a healthy life. Get the most from these activities while helping everyone stay safe and healthy.

游泳及其他水上活动是获得健康生活所需的体育锻炼和健康益处的极好途径。在帮助每个人保持安全和健康的情况下，最大限度地利用这些活动。

Parents and caregivers play a key role in protecting children from drowning. When kids are in or near water, closely supervise them at all times.

家长和看护人是保护儿童防止溺水的重要角色。孩子们在水里或附近时，要随时监督他们。

Help prevent recreational water illnesses, which is illness caused by germs and chemicals found in the water we swim in. Keep the pee, poop, sweat, and dirt out of the water. Take kids on bathroom breaks and check diapers every hour, and change them in a bathroom or diaper-changing area–not poolside–to keep germs away from the pool.

帮助预防嬉水有关的疾病——即由我们游泳的泳池水里的细菌或化学物引发的疾病。让小便、大便、汗液以及污渍远离水体。每小时带孩子去浴室休息并检查尿布，在浴室或母婴室内换尿布，不要在泳池边换，这样能让细菌远离游泳池。

Stay safe while boating by wearing a life jacket. Properly fitted life jackets can prevent drownings and should be worn at all times by everyone on any boat.

划船时穿上救生衣确保安全。正确穿戴救生衣可以防止溺水，在任何船上的所有人都应时刻穿着救生衣。

Be Sun Smart

谨防日晒

Just a few serious sunburns can increase your child’s risk of skin cancer later in life. Adults and children need protection from ultraviolet (UV) rays whenever they’re outdoors. Learn how to protect your child from sun damage.

就算只有轻度严重的晒伤也可以增加你的孩子将来患皮肤癌的风险。在户外，成年人和儿童都需要防止紫外线。学会如何从日晒中保护你的孩子。

Seek shade when necessary. UV rays are strongest and most harmful during midday, so it’s best to plan indoor activities then. If this is not possible, seek shade under a tree, an umbrella, or a pop-up tent.

必要时寻找阴凉处。紫外线在中午时分最强、危害最大，因此，这个时间段最好计划在室内活动。如果无法实现，就寻找有遮阴的地方，如树下、打伞或弹出式帐篷。

When possible, cover up with long-sleeved shirts and long pants and skirts to provide protection from UV rays.

尽量穿长袖衣裤或长裙遮挡紫外线。

Wear a hat that shades the face, scalp, ears, and neck. If your child chooses a baseball cap, be sure to protect exposed areas with sunscreen.

戴一顶能遮住脸、头皮、耳朵和脖子的帽子。如果你的孩子选择棒球帽，确保他们外露的皮肤涂抹防晒霜。

Wear sunglasses. They protect your child’s eyes from UV rays, which can lead to cataracts later in life.

戴太阳镜。这能保护孩子的眼镜免受紫外线的伤害，紫外线会在老年后导致白内障。

Use a sunscreen with at least SPF (sun protection factor) 15 every time your child goes outside. For the best protection, apply sunscreen generously 30 minutes before going outdoors. Don’t forget to protect ears, noses, lips, and the tops of feet.

每次孩子外出时都要涂抹至少SPF（防晒系数）15的防晒霜。要达到最好的防晒效果，在出门前30分钟充分地涂抹防晒霜。在耳朵、鼻子、嘴唇和脚背也要记得涂抹。

Be Safe at Home, Work, and Play

Injuries are the leading cause of death in children aged 19 and younger, but most child injuries can be prevented.

伤害是19岁及以下儿童死亡的主要原因，但大多数儿童伤害是可以预防的。
