A backyard pool can be fun—but it can also be dangerous for young children. Drowning is silent and fast. If you have a pool & little ones, here’s some safety tips: 👀 Always Supervise Never leave children alone near water. An adult trained in CPR should be within arm’s reach—especially for kids under 5 or weak swimmers. 🔒 Fence It Off Install a 4-foot fence around all four sides of inground pools. Use self-closing, self-latching gates with latches out of reach. 🚫 No Floaties as Life Savers Air-filled toys are not life jackets. Don’t rely on them. 🧸 Remove Temptations Take toys out of the pool after swimming. Secure the pool when swim time is over. 🏊‍♂️ Swim Lessons Help, But Don’t Replace Safety Even strong swimmers need supervision. Swim skills are just one layer of protection. Let’s keep our kids safe.
