Don't sweat it, kids
Stay cool and beat the heat on hot summer days:
If you feel weak, dizzy or thirsty, take a break in the shade, drink water and tell an adult.
The day is usually hottest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Play outside during the cooler parts of the day.
Dress cool in loose-fitting, light colored clothes.
Keep a water bottle handy to guzzle during water breaks.
If you're playing hard, a sports drink can help to replace the water you've sweated away.
