- Install a safety fence around the pool area. Highly recommended is The Roll-A-Way Protective Pool Fence. It is a strong, attractive and affordable pool fence designed to help protect your loved ones. Check out their website at, www.rollawaypoolfence.com, for a more detailed and insightful overview of pool fence safety barriers.
- Supervise children at all times in or near the pool area.
- Teach children to swim, especially here in Florida. It will be their lifelong benefit!
- Learn CPR. The American Red Cross shares info re: CPR techniques and procedures for adults, children and even pets, check out their website at, www.redcross.org.
- Keep the deck free of any trip and fall hazards.
- Keep glassware away from the pool area.
- Have rescue equipment available. For a homeowner at their residential pool, have a good pole and brush, and use it to extend and assist your reach for someone that is struggling. Even a pool “noodle” float can be utilized as a rescue item! Also, keep a cell phone close by, seconds count in an emergency!
- When there are storms in the area with the possibility of lightning…do not swim!
- Always be aware the depth of a pool…never dive into the shallow end of a pool.
- Never mix pool chemical products together.
