Teach children basic water safety skills.

Avoid entrapment by keeping children away from pool drains, pipes, and other openings. If a child is missing, look for them in the pool or spa first, including neighbors’ pools or spas.

If you have a pool:

Install a four foot fence around the perimeter of the pool and spa, including portable pools. Maintain pool and spa covers in good worker order. Have life saving equipment such as life rings, floats or a reaching pole available and easily accessible.

At home:

Always keep a young child within arm’s reach in a bathtub. If you must leave, take the child with you. Don’t leave a baby or young child in a bathtub under the care of another young child. Never leave a bucket or basin containing even a small amount of liquid unattended. Always empty and store buckets where young children cannot reach them.

Safety Stoplight

Safety Stoplight STOP – Do Not Swim Without Supervision Make sure to have adult supervision. Stop if you are alone! Children are always within eyesight and reach The “Water Watcher” scans the water at all times, without engaging in conversations, phone calls, reading, texting, or any other distracting activity. Never leave children in or around a body of water unattended. Do not rely on flotation devices as a method for supervision.

Safety Stoplight CAUTION – Use Multiple Barriers Around Water Use caution around any body of water, know your limitations! Install and maintain proper fencing around pool and spa. Use safety covers, gate alarms, door alarms, and motion-detection devices. All gates are self-closing, self-latching, and open away from the pool. For non-swimmers, always wear US Coast Guard approved life vests, make sure vests fit sungly on body.

Safety Stoplight GO – Learn How to Swim & Perform CPR With proper supervision and understanding of water, it’s a go to swim! Everyone should know how to swim. Learn CPR, first aid, and rescue techniques. Understand the basics of life saving so that you can assist in a pool emergency.Keep a shepherd’s hook, life-saving ring, and CPR sign mounted by the pool to instruct others.
