TIPS TO HELP YOU BEAT THE HEAT:

• Dress for the Weather: Wear loose, lightweight, breathable clothing made from natural fabrics like linen or cotton instead of synthetics. Consider wearing sun-protective clothing with a high UPF rating. These specially designed fabrics block harmful UV rays and keep your skin safe.

• Stay Hydrated: Dehydration can be dangerous in hot weather. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body cool and functioning well.

• Keep Cool: Use a fan or air conditioning, take cool showers, or keep your skin cool with a damp sponge or spray bottle of cold water.

• Turn Off Electronics: Computers and other devices generate heat. Turn them off when not in use to reduce indoor temperatures.

• Take a Swim: Take advantage of the pool on the property and remember to consider the Rules outlined in the Rules & Regulations.

• Cool your Home: Use blackout curtains or blinds to keep out the sun, open windows at night when temperatures drop, and install ceiling fans to circulate air.
