Each year, at this time of the year, there are thousands of causalities in, or around, swimming pools. Small children left unattended, even for a minute, can lead to death by drowning. Children, running around wet decks can cause accidents and death.
Pools are a great way to cool off on hit summer days, but SAFETY around the pool must be practiced by all.
Here are just a few things you need to be aware of:
1) If you have small children, make sure you have a security fence and gate surrounding your pool. Make sure the lock is NOT within reach of small children.
2) Enforce “No Running” around the pool by all.
3) Do NOT allow any glassware near the pool area. Use plastic.
4) Generously use sun screen on all who will be out in the sun for any amount of time. Sun causes aging; it can also cause cancer which can kill you.
5) Keep small pets who can not swim away from the pool. Many family pets drown each year in family pools.
6) Do not allow toys with sharp edges near the pool.
Pools can be a lot of fun and offer great enjoyment. They are also beautiful to look at, but practicing “good safe rules” in or around pools is critical. For more information on this pool safety click here.
And by all mean…..have a happy and fun-filled summer!
