During the bitterness of cold winter, winter, it's hard to imagine those hot, lazy summer days when the hardest decision to make is whether to cool off with ice cream or a dip in the pool. Swimming is more than refreshing, refreshing, it's also one of the most popular forms of recreation. But before before you splash down, remember to be water wise, stroke smart and pool prudent/ Whatever the body of water, don't go in unless you know how to swim and understand water safety. You may think you're safe by only going in up to your waist, but you could find yourself in over your head --; literally. literally. Even if you're a strong swim mer, don't swim alone. Around water, children need adult supervision. And "super vision" too - never take your eyes off them. Know your limitations. Maybe one day you will swim the English Channel or dive like an Olympian. But for now, don't push the boundaries boundaries of your skills too far by swimming swimming too far from shore, or experimenting experimenting with a triple reverse somersault with a twist. At the lake or ocean, swim parallel parallel to shore to keep close to safety. If you're caught in a current or undertow, undertow, swim in the same direction and diagonally toward the shore or surface. surface.

If you are trading in your present vehicle, you can use the equity to reduce your monthly payment, or we can simply pay you for it, A further advantage to leasing is that it doesn't affect your line of credit. If you purchased a new vehicle and financed it, it could affect your ability to secure credit for other purchases. An important consideration is the GAP factor, should you be unfortunate enough to have an âccident, you won't be stuck with the depreciated value of the car (what you owe) and the amount your insurance company will pay you. Keep in mind the convenience factor in that you don't have the worry and bother associated with financing such as shopping new car prices or disposing of your used vehicle when you're ready for a new one. There are flexible terms available to suit your monthly budget and don't overlook the possible tax advantages. The cost of leasing a vehicle for 3 years works out to about the same monthly cost as financing for 5 years so that if you traded every 3 years, your vehicle would always be covered , by factory warranty, For more information I can be reached at Cowan Pontiac-Buick 905- 623-3396. gers, like submerged rocks or other residue.

Check with your insurance company, and inform them in any case if you're adding a pool; you may need additional coverage. Make sure you cover all the safety bases too, by following the same guidelines noted above and adding some appropriate to the residential setting: • Make fences or walls high enough, hard enough to climb, and deep enough in the ground to discourage discourage trespassers. Your gate should have a self-closing spring lock, with an inside latch. • Trim hedges and foliage so you can see the pool area, • For swimming and diving safety, mark the pool depth. If you have deep and shallow areas, string a floating floating safety line between them. Place ladders or built-in steps at each end. • Keep a first aid kit and reaching and throwing aids on hand, including a pole that's long enough to reach half way across the pool. In an emergency emergency you can also use towels, clothes, deck chairs and air mattresses mattresses for rescues. • Those wading pools don't hold much water, but it doesn't take much to pose a risk. Empty and store wading wading pools after using them. By the way, contrary to the popular popular myth it's all right to swim after eating. Ice cream and a swim ... now that's summer living!
