The A,B,C & D's of Pool Safety

This is a great way to remember the importance of safety around the family swimming pool and to keep small children safe:

*A - Adult Supervision: It is important to remember that there is no substitute for adult supervision when small children have access to a swimming pool. Always appoint one adult as the "designated supervisor".

*B - Barriers: These include pool fences and self-closing gates. By installing a pool fence and a reliable self-closing walk-thru gate you are insuring that you have created a complete barrier between a small child and the pool.

*C - Classes: Swimming classes for the kids and CPR for Mom and Dad. Every child should know how to swim. While you may install a pool fence around your swimming pool to protect your little ones, you may take your children to a home where there is a swimming pool, but no pool fence. It is vital that children learn how to swim at as early an age as possible. Every parent should know CPR.

*D - Devices: These include life jackets and keeping a telephone outside by the pool at all times.
