10 Steps to Safety Around Swimming Pools
June 19th, 2007 Categories: Livermore Activities
Summer is here and the kids are ready to swim!
Before they take that first dip in the pool, share with them your concerns for their safety.
-
Supervise, supervise, supervise
-
Do not consider flotation devices a substitute for supervision
-
Never swim without a buddy
-
Keep a portable phone or cell phone near the pool for emergencies
-
Maintain your rescue equipment at the pool
-
Learn CPR and keep your skills current
-
Consider installing barriers such as fences and secure pool covers
-
Purchase an alarm that triggers when the pool is being accessed
-
Teach children the proper use of the slide or diving board
-
Worth repeating…supervise!
Another great idea is to post your own set of rules near the pool; No Running, No Diving, and Never Swim Alone.
Perhaps you don’t have a private pool in your backyard? If you would like to take a look at the available homes for sale with a private swimming pool contact us today.
Make this the summer to remember!
