A New Way To Swim In The Shade

By Timothy Kelly


When summertime comes, it's time to head out to where cool water sparkles in the sunshine. However, when it's too hot to enjoy yourself even there, and you begin to fear getting sunburned, you may dream about a swim in the shade.

No need to site your pool site near big trees, or to buy an even larger umbrella. No need to stay off the lake during the hours from 10 AM to 4 PM. There's a new gimmick to summer enjoyment - the floating canopy.

There's an easier and more flexible option: get a floating canopy that casts a large shadow wherever you want it. The canopy can rest half on land (or boat deck) and half on the water or be totally afloat. It looks like a regular canopy but stands on inflated rings. Patented locking devices secure the legs to the floats and make it easy to move the whole unit anywhere you like.

Too much direct sunlight is unhealthy. Having shade when and where you need it is smart as well as pleasant. Between ten and four o'clock you should take precautions to avoid sunburn. Experts say that even one bad burn increases the risk for skin cancer. Those who spend a lot of time in direct sun look old faster, with dark spots, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

You can put up an umbrella on land. You can jump in the pool to cool off and then retreat to a shelter. However, with a canopy that floats, you could be reclining in an inflatable chair, sipping a frosty drink and dabbling your fingers in cool water. The kids are protected from sunburn while they build sand castles and wade in the shallows to fill their buckets with seawater.

These nifty canopies even work off boats. Fishermen who want to stay out on the lake for hours can secure one side of the shelter to the boat and float the other side out in the water. The sun still sparkles all around, but the people are cool and comfortable in the shade. Go online to see how to use this great device to make summertime more fun than ever. There are online photo galleries that will give you all sorts of ideas.

The covers are really great for pools, much better than shade trees. Trees drop all sorts of debris into the water, which you have to skim off and vacuum out. They also keep the water from warming up early in the season. If you float a canopy just where you want it, the rest of the water is exposed to the sun to warm up nicely. You also won't have to slather on the sunscreen, trying to remember to reapply it every two hours and wondering if it is really protecting you and your family.

It's amazing how much a new idea like this can add to summer fun. Now you can spend more time outside, making the most of your pool or your vacation at the lake. Especially up north where summers are short, you want to have unlimited time to enjoy the water. Try a floating canopy - and you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
