What You Need to Know
Premium Plunge Pools & Custom Concrete Pool
Swimming pools are great fun for the whole family. People of all ages can enjoy time
spent in the water playing, exercising, entertaining, and relaxing. But to keep a swimming
pool safe, you must ensure as a responsible pool owner, that the proper safety
precautions are taken.
Understanding the risks around water and how to remove and mitigate them is vitally
important. Here, we’ll cover some of the best steps you can take to keep your time by
the pool as safe as possible.
Pool Safety for All Ages
Most of the pool safety tips in the article apply to people
of all ages. When trying to keep kids safe around the pool
the most important thing is to never leave them
unattended. Ensuring there is always an adult presence
acts not only as a reminder, but means they are there to
step in and help quickly if something does happen. 
Education for Prevention
Educating yourself and your friends and family on the dangers
around the pool and how best to prevent them is one of the
best ways to reduce the chance of accidents. Ensuring that
everybody spending time in the pool knows how to swim will
also significantly reduce the risk of an incident. 
Pool Covers
Good quality pool covers are a great way to ensure that the
pool is inaccessible when not in use. These covers seal the
surface of the pool area off, preventing unattended access
by children and pets. In the case of electric pool covers, be
extra careful where the controls are positioned to keep them
out of the reach of children.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Keeping your pool area clean and free from defects with
regular maintenance is another key factor in making the pool
safer. Children are prone to running around, even when told
otherwise. Dirty surfaces, or broken fencing, make slips and
falls into the water an accident waiting to happen.
CPR
CPR is a vital skill that can make the difference between life and
death. The methods and techniques for performing CPR vary
depending on the age of the patient, and using the wrong
technique can waste precious minutes before help arrives
Pool Fencing
Pool fencing is one of the most important elements of pool safety and is
also a legal requirement. Pool fencing is the ultimate preventative solution
to keeping your pool safe and secure. A good quality pool fence acts as a
barrier around your pool area, preventing young children and pets from
stumbling in accidentally. Pool fencing should be at least 1.2 meters high to
prevent children and pets from being able to climb over it.
