Safety Reminders for Pool Owners

Your pool is a great investment, offering health benefits, relaxation and entertainment while adding value to your home. However, it is also a responsibility. Pools can be dangerous if the proper safety precautions are not followed. As a reminder to pool owners, here are some of the top safety tips to keep in mind to ensure your pool is safe for your family and guests:

  • Pool fencing. It is a good idea to add a fence around your pool for safety. This can keep small children and pets away from the pool edge when it is not in use. The fence should have a self-closing gate that latches; spas should have a locking cover.
  • Teach kids pool safety etiquette. Make sure kids know the basics. Stay away from drain covers; no running by the pool; no swimming without supervision.
  • Lock doors to pool area or set an alarm. If you have small children or guests with small children, make sure your doors to the pool area stayed locked. This can prevent a child from wandering out your back door. A door alarm is another option. Remember, it only takes a minute for a child to fall into a pool unnoticed.
  • Pool water safety. Keeping the right PH balance and cleanliness in your pool is essential to keep it safe for swimming. Hiring a professional pool service for routine chemical checks and cleanings can ensure your pool remains healthy for your family and guests.

By following a few safety rules, your pool can remain a source of fun, exercise and relaxation for your family. Make sure your whole family understands these rules and why they need to be strictly adhered to for their safety.
