Dive into Pool Safety

As Floridians, we know how important pool time is for cooling off. We want to help ensure that your family and friends stay safe around the water. With a few smart precautions, you can enjoy your pool while keeping everyone safe. 

Install Pool Fencing

One of the most effective ways to prevent accidental drownings, especially for young children, is to have a secure, self-closing fence around the pool. The fence should be at least 4 feet high with gates that are latched and can’t be opened by little hands. A quality security system can include alerts if someone tries to bypass the gate or access the pool area when they shouldn’t.

Use Pool Alarms

A pool alarm system is an essential part of keeping your pool area secure, particularly for families with young children or pets. These alarms can alert you immediately when someone enters the pool unexpectedly. Choose a pool alarm that’s loud and easy to hear from inside your home so you can respond quickly in case of emergency.

Install Security Cameras

Keep an eye on your pool area at all times by installing security cameras. Our cameras can come with motion detection, night vision, and remote access, so you can check in on the pool area from anywhere. 

Keep Pool Toys Away

Children are naturally drawn to pool toys. Always remove any items that might attract a child or animal to the pool when they aren’t supposed to be.

Supervise at All Times

While it’s tempting to relax and socialize during pool parties, it’s essential to always have someone actively supervising swimmers. Designate a responsible adult to keep an eye on the pool area and ensure everyone’s safety, especially if there are children or inexperienced swimmers. This person can be the “designated lifeguard” for the party, ensuring no one is left unattended in the water. If that person needs to take a break, make sure they let someone know to take over the responsibility for a bit. 

Regular Maintenance

Ensure that your pool is clean and the water is clear so swimmers can always see the bottom. Make sure pool equipment is functioning properly, and check your pool alarms and camera systems regularly to ensure they’re always ready.
