Swimming Pool Safety

A pool at home can be very dangerous for children, particularly children under 5 years. If you already have a pool, it is essential to take precautions against drowning by following these tips:

• Never leave children alone in the pool even for a moment
• Do not allow young children no longer go near a pool without supervision
• Install a fence to separate the house from the pool. Young children can leave the house and can fall into the pool. Install the fence around the four sides of the pool by completely separating the pool at the playground. Use doors with locks placed above the height that can be reached by your children.
• Strong safety cover that meets the standards of protection is a good alternative provided it is implemented.
• A pool alarm that meets the standards of electronic security is also a good way to protect young children. These systems detect any intrusion and trigger a siren in case of accidental fall.
• For above ground pools, remove ladders or stairs
• If a child is missing, always look first in the pool. Time is hugely in case of drowning.
• Keep a phone by the pool, and a first-aid equipment.
• Do not let children use floats or toys learn to swim without supervision, they are not approved to replace life vests.
• Do not leave toys in the pool, it will be a further temptation for your children.
• At the end of the sessions of swimming or wading, replace the safety device such that the children no longer have the opportunity to return.
• Avoid the ground is too slippery around the pool, which could lead to falls.
• Also accessories or tools left on the beach can cause the fall.
• Do not let the cleaning and hygiene of the pool away from children
