SOLAR RADIATIONS
In compliance with art. 14 of Royal Decree 742/2013, of September 27, which establishes the technical-sanitary criteria for swimming pools, we publish the following information:
RECOMMENDATIONS AGAINST SOLAR RADIATION
1. Avoid sun exposure during the central hours of the day (from 12 to 5 PM), as well as prolonged exposures or naps.
2. Reduce the parts of the body directly exposed to the sun. Light pieces, tightly woven shirts, and long pants will block most of the solar radiation. The most comfortable pieces in hot climates are light-colored cotton shirts. Clothing should be comfortable and not too tight.
3. It is recommended to cover the head with hats or caps.
4. The sun can also damage the eyes, so it is advisable to use certified sunglasses that filter at least 90% of ultraviolet radiation.
5. Use high-factor sunscreen products suitable for your age, skin type, and body area. These protectors should be applied in generous amounts, 30 minutes before sun exposure, reapplied every two hours, and after each bath. Remember that neither very effective sunscreen products nor those that protect against both UVB and UVA radiation can guarantee total protection against the risks that ultraviolet radiation (UV) poses to health. For this reason, the labeling regulations for sunscreen products have changed, and it should not be stated or implied that they offer total protection against the risks derived from excessive exposure to UV radiation. The only way to completely avoid sun damage is to avoid exposure, and when this is not possible, take the appropriate protective measures described to try to reduce the risk.
6. Be careful with exposures over and in the water, as radiation can penetrate up to one meter in clear water.
7. Especially protect children, as they are sensitive to overexposure to the sun. It should also be avoided that children under 3 years old are exposed to the sun. High-factor sunscreen creams should be used.
8. If you are taking medication, check that it does not increase skin sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.
