Having a pool can be a big responsibility. You know that, by all the care and maintenance it takes to keep it running well, but also by keeping the people who use it safe. Here are several ways you can keep your friends and family safe around your pool.
- Locked gates. Keeping your pool area gated with a lock, will ensure that you know when people are accessing your pool. Knowing is half the battle and keeping that lock out of a child’s reach will also guarantee a peace of mind.
- Safety gear ready at hand. Having a life float to throw someone can be a literal life saver when the need arises. Also having your phone at the poolside in a watertight plastic bag will save precious moments of searching for it, in case of an emergency.
- Non-slip surfaces. Keeping the area around your pool slip free can keep someone from falling and getting hurt or accidentally falling into the pool. Sharing some safety tips, like no running, can help you and your guests enjoy their time by the pool.
- Know your pool guests. Whether your pool guest has never taken a swim or is a professional diver, you are going to want to know so you can keep them safe. This will help you be more aware of the needs and safety tips you need to share as they enjoy using your pool.
Keep these tips in mind as you entertain your friends and family at your pool. Have fun, but as a host be aware of pool safety issues that may arise. You want everyone to have a great time together, but you also want to make sure everyone is safe for your peace of mind and theirs. Talk to your local pool professional about options you can add to your pool to make it safe for everyone to enjoy.
