Swimming Pool Safety
Swimming Pool Safety Tips Everyone Should Know
Children should be reminded that they should never approach a pool or other body of water without an adult's permission.
Make sure a Water Watcher is always on duty and never leave kids unaccompanied near any pool!
Recall that you are in charge of ensuring the security of any kids who come to your house!
In the event of a water emergency, NEVER depend on water wings or any other inflatable flotation device to save a child.
After using an inflatable or baby pool, always empty it. In less than two inches of water, children can drown.
To prevent kids from reaching in for the toys, make sure all of the items are taken out after usage.
