Yes!! Also, water acts as an amplifier for the sun’s rays, so extra sunscreen but also watch out for feet on hot concrete near pools! Water shoes are great for both pool and open water swims, especially around bodies of water where a careless fisherman might leave a hook on the beach or in the bottom at wading depth. I grew up on the banks of the Sacramento River, and I remember several childhood friends stepping on fishing hooks at multi-use beaches. A good time to update your tetanus vaccine if needed too right?
