Being in a pool is refreshing and provides endless enjoyment. Here are few safety tips given by Kanner & Pintaluga Review to keep your children safe while swimming.
2. Teach Children To Swim
Most children can learn to swim ar
ound the age of 5, but understand
that swimming lessons won’t nece
ssarily prevent a child from drowni
ng.
3. Learn CPR
Your pool may be secure but that
will still not be able to completely r
ule out the possibility of an accide
nt. That’s why it is essential for kid
s and adults alike to know CPR a
nd be educated in emergency ma
nagement.
4. Have a Fence
Surround your pool with a fence that is at least 4
feet tall. Make sure they have no gaps so kids ca
n’t squeeze through. Avoid chain-link fences that
can be easy for children to climb over. Install self
-closing and self-latching gates that are beyond
a child’s reach.
5. Remove Toys
Don’t leave pool toys in the water.
A child might fall into the water wh
ile trying to retrieve a toy.
6. Ban Drinking At The Pool
Water and alcohol don’t mix. Rela
xing by the pool with an adult bev
erage or two might be a soothing
way to wind down after a long day
, but it’s dangerous and should be
avoided.
