Hat On. Cover Up. Go Play.

Sunny days, poolside splashes and long afternoons spent playing outside. There’s plenty to love about summer, and a few simple sun-smart habits can help make those days even better.

To help families get ready for pool days, we’ve created a free printable pool rules sign to pop up at home, by the pool or wherever your family loves to swim.

When the kids don't want to wear their hats or rashies...

We’ve all been there. The pool is calling, the kids are ready to jump in, but suddenly putting on a rashie, popping on a hat or sitting still for sunscreen feels like the biggest ask of the day...

That’s where our pool rules sign comes in handy!

Pop it somewhere everyone can see it and, when the sunscreen negotiations begin or someone insists they don’t need their hat, you can simply point to the sign and remind them: them’s the rules if you want to get in the pool!

Sometimes a little visual reminder can help take the pressure off you being the one who says no, while making sun-smart habits part of the pool day routine.

We believe the best summer memories are made when kids can get outside, get a little messy and play to their hearts’ content. And while we’re all for big splashes and hours of fun in the sun, it’s worth making sun protection and water safety part of the everyday routine.
