SAFETY ADVICE
Responsible adult supervision
is mandatory at all times around swimming pools and spas. Never leave
your child unattended in a swimming pool, spa or hot tub.
Install and routinely inspect
fences, self-closing and latching gates, baby-barrier fences and alarms.
Have life-saving devices like a
pool hook or flotation devices near the swimming pool.
Warning signs by the
manufacturer, builder, or installer are displayed according to the
manufacturers' specifications.
Children under three years and
children who cannot swim must wear a life jacket or personal flotation
device.
Have emergency phone numbers
listed at the telephone closest to the swimming pool.
Remove all toys from the
swimming pool after use so children are not tempted to reach for them
later.
Secure the swimming pool so
that children cannot get back in after they are done swimming.
