Pool Safety Tips

A toddler can fall in face first and not necessarily have the strength to push themselves out to clear the airway.

To keep your children safe, start with a fence that's at least four feet high and installed completely around the pool.

And secure it with a self-locking gate. Also,

• Remove portable pool ladders when the pool is not in use.
• Remove toys in the water, which could lure a child back when a parent is not present.
• Use a motion detector pool alarm which will be activated if someone enters or falls into the pool.
• keep a portable phone near the pool to use in an emergency.
• And the most important line of defense is;

Constant vigilance. Constant supervision

Supervision combined with precautionary measures can help prevent a tragedy from striking your family. Another pool safety tip: At least one adult in the home should know how to administer CPR.
