As the weather heats up, pools are a great way to cool off—but safety comes first. Here are a few tips to keep everyone safe:
- Always supervise children around a pool or water
- Ensure gates and fences have high latches and are self-closing
- If using a safety cover, ensure that it can support weight
- Have rescue equipment easily accessible, like a long pole
- Remove steps and ladders when not in use
- Monitor drains, as they can create suction and be a danger for children
Stay safe, stay alert, and enjoy the water responsibly.
