During the warmer months, kids tend to become rowdy. In the chaos that follows it's easy for parents to overlook details they would otherwise quickly notice. When the time comes there are several steps you can take to ensure your pool is the safest in the neighborhood.
The first rule is to learn CPR. Make this a priority. Nearly every town and city has community organizations or other places that offer CPR training throughout the year. You can start now and be ready for next summer.
Another safety tip that isn't often mentioned is to completely remove any pool toys after each session at the pool. These can be seen as an invitation by younger neighbors and you may find children have been swimming, unsupervised, in your pool. If there is a visitor or the telephone starts ringing, take them with you. You should never leave any child unsupervised. Flotation devices are no substitute for a responsible adult.
There are also steps you can take to ensure your pool is as safe as possible. If you need to carry drinks or snacks to the poolside, use only plastic or Styrofoam containers. Be sure your pool is free of trash or debris before swimming. It may be tempting to swim before the cover is completely removed; however this is a safety hazard. Never swim when any part of the pool is covered.
Placing a good fence around your pool is a priority when you have one. Be certain all latches and locks are out of reach for small children. There shouldn't be any tables or chairs near the fence as these can be used to cross over the fence. Likewise you should keep safety equipment around the pool at all times.
If you utilize a diving board, observe proper usage. Divers should always spring from the front of the board and never the side. Those who are diving from the sides of the pool should always do so feet-first.
If you hear anything resembling thunder or if there are reports of thunderstorms in your area, do not go in the pool. You should avoid swimming alone and do not allow others to swim alone.
Install a Pool Alarm/Alert monitor. This Alarm System alerts anyone within a pre-designated distance with a very loud audible alarm indicating someone has entered the pool. This product is a fantastic safety system for parents of young children and for anyone concerned about people using the pool without your consent.
Even with the proper precautions a pool can be dangerous. By obeying these simple steps you will reduce your chances of a terrible accident. You can have fun and enjoy a refreshing swim with far less worry as long as you respect the risks involved.
