Make Pool Safety Priority #1 This Week

...and Every Week!

Start with these basics:

Responsible Adult Supervision is Key!! This means no distractions and constant visual contact whenever children are present.
No Broken or Missing Drain Covers. Never use a pool if the drain cover is broken or missing.
Provide Layers of Protection. This means the pool, spa, or hot tub is equipped with several devices to delay unsupervised access or to warn of a small child's presence. This includes fencing, automatic safety covers, pool and/or door alarms, rope and floats, and an outside telephone for emergencies.
