Safety Covers & Children’s Pool Safety: Keeping Your Family Safe
From making memories with the family, to fitness benefits and stress relief, there are many benefits of owning a swimming pool. Keeping the time spent at the pool safe is a top priority for any pool owner, as one of the leading causes of accidental death or injury among children happens at a pool. There are many preventative actions you can take to ensure that your family and friends have a safe but fun time at the pool this summer.
All pool owners should implement safety precautions. Barriers can help prevent submersion and drowning. A pool safety cover (mesh or solid), four-sided pool fences at least four feet high with locks/latches out of the reach of children and compliant drain covers can protect your children from drowning and entrapment.
Other safety tips to keep your family safe include the following…
- Supervise children at all times while at the pool; they should never be left unattended. Also, teach children basic water safety tips.
- Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings to avoid entrapments.
- Keep your pool deck free of toys so children aren’t tempted to enter the pool area.
- Reduce the risk of drowning by enrolling your children in formal swim lessons.
- Take a class and become CPR certified. Should an accident happen, CPR started quickly improves the outcome of drowning victims.
