The fact is, pool and spa construction and service, as well as lifeguarding, swim instruction and pool facility require working the hardest when the days are hottest and longest. For years now, industry voices — including mine — have urged basic skin cancer prevention measures, i.e. wearing sunscreen, hats and having regular skin cancer screenings. Those admonishments are often couched with scary information about how one in five Americans are treated for skin cancer in their lives and how dramatically working outdoors increases the risks. Prolonged dehydration can contribute to a wide array of medical complications, including fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, headaches, ulcers, high blood pressure and kidney disease. In addition, many of the beverages we drink can have negative effects on our health, including caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, which can often exacerbate the problem.
