Sun Safety

Practicing proper sun safety is essential in the state of Florida. Many people enjoy the warm tropical weather which we are fortunate to have living here in Southwest Florida.  With these warm temperatures, many of the activities which are planned by families occur around the pool, especially during the summer months.  Gully Pools and Spas wants you to know that there are many other ways to practice pool safety aside from having adult supervision or a life preserver.

Florida was not nicknamed “The Sunshine State” for nothing.  In one year the average amount of days with sunshine in Fort Myers Florida is 266 days.  Be Sun Safe!  With these many days of sunshine in Fort Myers practicing sun safety is imperative.  Sunburns are not just a redness that appears on your skin from being in the sun too long.  Sunburns  cause redness, pain, fever and even dehydration.  By having sunburn just once during your childhood also increases your chances of developing skin cancer.  Having extreme sunburn multiple times for children 18 and under can increase risks of developing melanoma.  The harsh rays of the sun causes your skin to wrinkle and causes premature aging.
