5 Essential Pool Safety Tips for Kids
1. Barriers.
The more barriers you have, the safer your children are. Some barriers to consider are pool fences, alarms, or pool covers.
2. Supervision.
Never leave children alone in or next to a pool. When in the pool, keep children within arms length. Even good swimmers can get into trouble.
3. Swim lessons.
Children should learn how to swim. It is a good skill to have and also helps prevent drowning.
4. Sunscreen.
Remember REAPPLY! We do not want our children to get burnt. Do we?
5. Hydration.
Children are swimming and playing, they are not thinking about drinking water. We don't want them to get dehydrated.
Swimming is fun, but remember safety only takes seconds.
Be safe out there!
