Check Your Skills: This might go without saying, but the number one home pool safety tip is ensuring that every individual who enters your pool knows how to swim and is confident in their ability to swim.

Swim Sober: There’s no denying that pool parties are good fun, but if you plan on drinking, steer clear of the pool. Studies have shown that alcohol intake is involved in up to 70% of water deaths, so as a homeowner with a pool, it’s your responsibility to make sure the people swimming are sober.

Keep an Eye Out: If you are the adult supervisor, never allow a child to swim alone. Even if you are confident in your children’s swimming skills, you should always make sure you can look after them and take extra precautions.

Be Prepared for Anything: Simply knowing how to swim is the bare minimum for home pool safety. We strongly suggest that you know the proper protocols in the event of an emergency. This includes knowing how to contact 911, performing CPR, and helping someone who is in danger. We also recommend storing lifesaving equipment nearby, such as ropes with rings, rescue hooks, floaties, and reaching poles, so you are prepared for anything.
