Swimming Pool Safety Tips
Closely
supervise young children and be prepared in case of an
emergency.
- Never use a floatation device as a substitute for
supervision.
- Learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
- Install physical barriers around the pool to limit
access.
- For above-ground pools, steps and ladders to the pool should be
secured or removed when the pool is not in use.
- Never use a pool or spa with a missing or broken drain cover
and have your pool or spa inspected by a professional for
entrapment hazards.
- If a child is missing, always look first in the pool. Seconds count!
