To avoid turning a happy time into something dreadful a few safety tips are a must. A lot of accidents take place by slipping into the pool which results in broken bones. Near-drowning experiences also prove fatal at times. Follow these tips to avoid the above stated and have the best time during the summer season.

TAKE SWIM LESSONS

One might take swimming as a leisure activity and overlook the risks involved. One must never enter the deep side of the pool without properly knowing how to swim. Especially if there is a pool at your home make sure that your kids are taught swimming at a young age. This is not only for when they swim in the pool but also to save themselves if slipped into the pool. Water safety skills should also be taught to the kids. These mainly include making them learn not to run in the slippery water, not to drink the chlorinated water, etc. Anyone who has access to the pool can drown. Thus, even adults who do not know how to swim must learn it.

INSTALL A SAFETY FENCE AROUND THE POOL

A pool should be kept covered and have a fence or net installed around it. These should also have baby-proof locks. A pool is a very dangerous place for children alone and precaution should be taken at all times. This will keep the children safe even if they are by themselves outside. Other than the fences or nets a pool alarm can also be installed. These will notify you when the pool gate is opened or if there is any disturbance in the pool.

SWIM SOBER

The most important thing that is ignored during the parties. Once alcohol or drugs enter your bloodstream they slow down your reaction time. This can prove to be fatal if any accident happens near the pool. One might not be able to comprehend what has happened and by the time they do, it would be very late. Be the smart one and keep the pool off limits if alcohol is present at a party.

SUPERVISE THE KIDS

The kids should only be allowed to swim when an adult is present and vigilant at all times. Make sure to make the kids wear bright colors while swimming. It becomes easier to spot them. Be a smart parent and not put your child’s life at risk.

All these safety tips must be followed at all times whilst near a pool. Being responsible can save you and your loved ones from anything fatal.
