Some Tips for Swimming Pool Safety

1. If you have children, install a locked fence around your pool that is at least four feet high so that children cannot access the pool by themselves.

2. Try to keep rescue equipment and a telephone by the pool, in case of an emergency.

3. Never leave children by the pool unattended.

4. Enforce pool rules like "No Running" and "No Pushing".

5. Invest in a power-operated pool safety cover.
