Any time you spend swimming shouldn't count as time out of your brace - but please check with your doctor on this.
Other than that, try to stay in air conditioned places as much as you can - especially during the hottest part of the day.
Hope this helps.mariaf305@yahoo.com

My 9 year old son made it through one very hot summer with a Boston brace. He did better than I thought that he would - even with a several night boy scout camp. He did drink more water - and I reminded him to when he was with me. I did try to find day camps that had some inside cooler areas, and swimming too. When it was over 100 deg and he was outside for a while, I tried to get him to take it off. He often wore the brace with just a brace shirt, and no shirt over it, which made it cooler too.
Good luck,
Jean
