Never use a pool with its pool cover partially in place, since children may become entrapped under it.
Keep toys away from the pool are, a young child playing with them could accidentally fall in the water.
Have a telephone at poolside to avoid having to leave children unattended in or near the pool to answer a telephone elsewhere. Keep emergency numbers at the poolside telephone.
Keep rescue equipment (such as a shepherd’s hook or life preserver) and a telephone by the pool.
Remember, teaching your child how to swim DOES NOT necessarily mean your child is safe in water.
