Pool Safety
Tips
By: Steven Schwartzapfel
Swimming is a great recreational sport and can
be a lot of fun, but it can be dangerous as well.
It’s important to know how to be safe while in the
pool. Therefore, it's a good idea for families who
have pools to review these safety measures and
drowning prevention tips:
Pool Safety Tip # 1:
Children should always
wear a life jacket
whenever they are near a
swimming pool.
Pool Safety Tip # 2:
Teach your child
how to swim or
enroll them in
swimming lessons.
Pool Safety Tip # 3:
Make sure children
understand to never
to go near a
swimming pool
without an adult.
Pool Safety Tip # 4:
Make pool safety a
priority by securing
the swimming pool
with a fence that has
a self-latching gate.
For extra security, it is
also a good idea to
install a pool alarm
that goes off if anyone
enters the pool.
Pool Safety Tip # 5:
Parents should consider
taking a CRP class so
that they learn how to
recognize and respond
to a potential drowning.
Pool Safety Tip # 6:
Always be prepared in
case of an emergency
by keeping rescue
equipment and a cell
phone nearby to call
911.
