Pool Safety and Protection

There are many systems available in the market today to help you to protect your family. We want to make sure that you are aware of these so you can further investigate all of your options when it comes time to make this decision. We want to remind you that you and your child’s safety and protection are a priority.
ADULT SUPERVISION is the key. Please keep this in mind at all times. No matter what your age or skill level, increase your pool safety and enjoyment by ensuring there’s always at least one non-swimming adult present for supervision. A whistle for the adult will come in handy when you need to alert and get everyone’s attention promptly.
Fencing is probably the most common form of security for a pool. It should enclose the swimming pool area by a minimum 4-foot high enclosure. It should have a self closing and self latching feature. There are many types and styles such as: Chain link, wooden, ornamental, thick hedges, etc. Always remember to present ideas/plans to your local building code office before proceeding.
Automatic or Manual Safety Covers should be non-penetrating that completely cover the pool and/or spa, blocking any access to water. You should look for types that meet the ASTM F13-46 standard.
Alarms that trigger a loud sound to warn parent or guardian of exit are another form of safety. There are different types of alarms and these can be placed at Doors Exit/Home Security, Fence/Gate and at Pool/Spa.
There are also motion detection alarms for the pool site that can detect when an object heavier than a certain weight has entered the water.
Rope and Float Lines are placed across the pool and can alert swimmers of the separation of the deep end from the shallow end of the pool.
Life Ring, Shepherd’s Crook (Hook) are used to pull someone from the pool to safety. All rescue equipment should be placed near the pool in a clearly marked and readily accessible spot. Periodically check and keep all safety equipment in good condition.
Emergency Information and Safety Kit such as a first aid kit is always a good idea to keep in a safe and convenient location. Periodically check to make sure the kit is well stocked with all the essentials. Most importantly, remember to post all CPR, emergency (911 or other) contact information and warning signs in a visible spot near the pool. You and your family may even perform regular pool safety drills to remind everyone what to do/where to go in the event of emergency.
Outside Telephone such as a cordless is convenient and a good idea especially if you need to call for help or information quickly and without leaving the pool area. Suncreen should be chosen at the level of protection that’s right for you and use it! Even on cooler, cloudy days, the sun’s ultraviolet rays can burn and damage skin cells.
Toys, Games, Floats, etc. provide countless hours of fun and enjoyment for everyone. Make sure that all devices are safe and age appropriate for each individual. Never leave any toys, games, etc. in or around the pool. Put them away for security and for safety.
Cleaners, Chemicals and Maintenance supplies should be kept in a locked storage area, away from children and pets. Always check supply labels for proper storage requirements and expiration dates.
