With summer around the corner, swimming pools become the main source of fun and recreation. Whether it is just a family soak in the pool or a pool party with friends, people can't get enough of the pool.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, there are limitations on how people can enjoy their pool time. If you are following the norm and are spending time at home with family, a little pool time with your family can be refreshing.
However, swimming pools also come with many risks, and you must follow a few safety tips to avoid them.
Install a fence and do not allow people who cannot swim into the pool. Mark deeper areas of the pool. Make sure that experienced swimmers closely accompany children and beginners. Remove diving boards if any.
Post swimming pool safety tips to create awareness among people and avoid accidents. Keep emergency numbers well in view, and on speed dial to call in case of accidents. Always keep a fully equipped first aid kit. Learn water rescue skills and basic CPR for emergency conditions.
Wash your hands before entering the pool. Use life jackets instead of inflatable floaters as they are more effective. Keep children away from suction devices, and learn how to turn them off during an emergency. Always keep rescue equipment around the pool. Do not let any loose wire near the pool or crushed bottles around the pool.
Make sure your children have adequate swimming lessons and supervise them. Pay attention to every aspect of the pool and provide proper maintenance to avoid injuries.
