Owning a swimming pool,\u00a0whether it is an above ground pool<\/a> or an in ground pool, means taking responsibility for the safety of children and pets\u00a0who live on or near your property.\u00a0 There’s more to pool safety, though,\u00a0than\u00a0equipping your\u00a0swimming pool with safety features like anti-entrapment drain covers<\/a>, safety covers<\/a>, pool alarms<\/a>, and pool fences.\u00a0 Even with every available safety device installed, there is still no guarantee that a child will never experience a pool-related injury or accident in\u00a0your backyard\u00a0pool, or in a pool owned by a neighbor or family member.<\/p>\n

Everything from bumps and scrapes to submersion and drowning accidents are possible in a swimming pool, so it’s a good idea to be prepared for the unexpected by getting trained in CPR and first aid.\u00a0 Your local chapter of the American\u00a0Red Cross<\/a> probably offers courses regularly, and the best time to schedule one is now, before the swimming season begins.<\/p>\n

Equipping your swimming pool with safety barriers and devices\u00a0is a vital\u00a0step in helping to prevent the worst kind of swimming pool accidents.\u00a0 Equipping yourself, though, with the\u00a0skills and knowledge to handle any degree of pool-related injury or accident\u00a0takes you to an even higher level of responsible\u00a0pool ownership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
