What is your favorite way to stay cool in the summer?
Swimming?
Ours too.
Swimming is one the great activities of summertime. Even if you are not a dolphin in the water, soaking up some sun and hearing the water ripple in the breeze is worth the time.
Swimming pools can also be where accidents happen. With slick tiles or concrete, diving boards and ladders and the water itself all present hazards if you are not careful and prepared.
Below are our tips for staying safe while you are enjoying your swimming pool. These are easy to follow instructions that will make sure you don’t end up in a bad situation but will also help you focus more on having fun or finishing your next guilty pleasure read.
Try these tips to stay safe in the sun and water:
- Never let children swim alone: Many accidents involve kids and teenagers who may not take safety seriously.
- Install barriers: Your swimming pool should have a fence to keep them secure and covers to prevent unattended swimming.
- Cover the drain: Be sure that the drains have the proper covers to prevent dangerous situations or clogged pipes.
- Have a responsible watcher: Have at least one person who can look out for problems, keep others in check and call for help if something happens.
Having rules can help keep you and those you care about safe. If you want to chat about more options, like making sure your liability limits are high enough, give R.C. Keller & Company a call to discuss. We are here to help.
