Pool Safety

When you have a pool in your backyard, it comes with a high level of responsibility to make sure everyone is safe and doesn’t get hurt. According to the Center for Disease Control, more than 3,200 people drown each year. Among children ages one to four, most drowned in residential swimming pools. Pool drownings happen very year, and we want to help our customers avoid those at all costs. Here are some useful tips to make your pool safe and fun for all who use it.

• Install a fence around the pool area. This will help prevent people from using the pool without your knowledge and keep small children and animals out. Intoxicated neighbors sometimes have a way of finding pools that do not have gates around them. Don’t let this be your pool.
• In addition to the fence, door alarms, locks and safety covers create a barrier of protection around the pool. These are all useful in alerting you if a child is trying to get out to the pool area if you are not paying close enough attention.
• Never leave small children unsupervised in or around the pool — even for a minute. We repeat - never. Small children drown in just seconds so always have an adult watching closely when children are in or even around the pool area or in the backyard. Consider adding an in-ground pool alarm or an above ground pool alarm.
• Keep children away from pool filters. The suction may injure them or prevent them from reaching the surface.
• Be sure all pool users know how to swim. Teach your children to swim as early as possible. Swimming lessons can save a life. It is best to teach small children how to get to the nearest steps or where they should go if they accidentally fall in. A small amount of preparation can have huge benefits if an accident ever happens. You might want a wearable wrist pool alarm for small children.
• Develop a buddy system — don't swim alone or allow others to swim alone.
• Don't allow anyone who has been drinking alcohol to swim in the pool.
• Never dive into an above ground pool. Always check the water depth before plunging into an in-ground pool.
• Don’t allow glass bottles or other potential hazards into the pool area.
• Keep radios, CD players, blow dryers, and other electrical devices away from the pool.
• Keep a secure cover on the pool during the off-season. Make sure the cover is in good condition. We sell pool covers for above ground pools to protect your pool during off peak times.
• Keep a first aid kit, ring buoys and reaching poles near the pool in case of emergency. You should also consider having the adults in your home take basic first aid and CPR training.
