So keeping that in mind, here are a few tips of on pool safety and on having a fun and safe summer.

Firstly, when it comes to water safety as drowning prevention is paramount it would behoove many parents or guardians to learn CPR and rescue breathing from instructor classes in your area.

Secondly, do not substitute floating toys or swimming aids for actual life vests. Keep in mind just because your child can swim does not mean he or she is not still at risk for drowning.

Thirdly, any pool home should be surrounded by a sixty inch tall pool safety fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate. A safety cover or tarp covering will also work well in preventing kids from falling in, though a gate or fence is much preferred.
