This Summer Stay Cool in a Safe Way !
Summer is vastly approaching and the temperature outside is rising. The pool can be a refreshing way to cool down in the heat. Before jumping in, make sure everyone is aware of conscious pool safety:
- Installation of self-gating/latching gates and appropriate barriers around the pool.
- Adult supervision is needed when children of a young age are in the pool.
- Make sure no one swims alone.
- Have life-saving equipment easy accessible and nearby.
- Check pool’s anti-entrapment drain covers
- Maintain proper chemical levels, circulation, and filtration.
- Test and adjust PH levels as needed to minimize the risk of earaches, rashes, and other serious diseases.
- Enforce around the pool rules: “No Diving”, “No Running”, and “Swim with a buddy”.
- Keep pool area clear of glass bottles, toys or potential accident hazards.
- Enroll children into Safety Swim Programs with appropriate age group.
- Keep all electrical devices away from the pool.
About 43,000 people are injured in and around a swimming pool and more than 600 people drown in home pools due to the lack of supervision that is needed. Beat the heat and stay cool the safe way.
Your friends at C.H. Edwards, Inc. wish you a safe and happy summer swimming season !
