�
Adult
supervision is
essential. Never
let kids swim
alone!
� If your pool
is not fenced
in, fence it!
� Keep gates
closed. Make
sure that self
closing gates
actually self
close. Even
better yet,
padlock the
gate.
� Keep items
which can be
used for
climbing
(tables, chairs,
large play toys,
and ladders)
away from
fences.
� Keep toys
and balls out of
and away from
the pool area.
� Remove any
trees, bushes or
other things
that might block
a clear view of
the pool from
the house.
� Keep the
water within 3
to 4 inches from
the top of the
pool. This will
make climbing
out of the pool
easier.
� Keep all
pool chemical
supplies and
equipment locked
up at all times.
� Keep an
emergency plan,
with telephone
number to
call 911, by the
entrance to the
house or near an
outside phone.
� Learn CPR.
It takes only a
couple hours and
may save a life.
