By Blue Water Pool Supplies And Services News

Summer is here and that means pool season! While swimming is a great way to beat the heat and have fun, it's important to stay safe. Here are some tips to keep you and your family safe in the pool this summer.

Secure Your Pool Area

Make sure your pool area is properly fenced and gated to prevent unsupervised access, especially for young children.

Supervise Children

Never leave children unattended in or near the pool. Designate a responsible adult to watch swimmers at all times.

Learn to Swim

Enroll yourself and your children in swimming lessons. Knowing how to swim is the best defense against drowning.

Establish Pool Rules

Create and enforce rules like no running, no diving in shallow water, and no swimming alone.

Learn CPR

Knowing CPR can save a life. Take a course and keep your skills up to date.

Keep Safety Equipment Nearby

Have a reaching pole, life ring, and first aid kit readily accessible near the pool.
