The best part of the summer is being able to enjoy a relaxing, splashing, fun day at the pool. While water play can be a lot of fun it can be very dangerous as well. Here are some quick tips to keep everyone safe around the pool.

  • Lifeguards can not watch each individual child, you are responsible for the children you bring to the pool
  • Stay within an arm's length away from children that can not swim and always keep your eye on ones that can swim.
  • Use a coast guard approved flotation devices such as puddle jumpers or life vest
  • Do not use float rings, water wings, or any inflatable floats as a life-saving device, these are for play only
  • When utilizing a pool at a private home always assign a responsible adult to keep an eye on the pool
  • Know CPR- there are classes taught locally through various organizations
  • Remove ladders to private pools when not in use
  • Flip over inflatable pools as rainwater can refill them enough to become a drowning hazard.
