Every year we see more and more people moving to Southwest Florida, mainly due to our year-round wonderful weather featuring sunny skies and warm weather. With an increasing amount of pools being built for people who want to experience the full effects of the Sunshine State, it’s important to know safety measures that should be implemented in order to prevent accidents from happening in and around the pool.

Drains, Barriers, And Alarms

Maintaining a safe swimming environment means implementing safety measures that will stop accidents from happening. Making sure drain covers are all properly secured will prevent drowning from underwater entrapment. Net barriers can be bought and installed to protect swimmers from taking an unexpected plunge into a pool. Pool alarms can be set to notify you if someone or something falls in the pool, such as a person or pet.

Other Rules And Practices

• It’s important to never leave a child unattended in any swimming area, this includes even small swimming pools such as a spa.
• At any sort of community swimming pool, a sign should always be displayed which presents rules which should be followed by swimmers.
• Make sure to routinely inspect pool equipment and safety materials as often as possible.
• Monthly pool maintenance will be needed in order to balance the chemicals in your pool. Chemical imbalance can lead to irritation of the skin and eyes. Not only does it contribute to your health and wellness, but it also effects the purity and cleanliness of the water. This is especially important if you want your pool water to stay clear.
• Having a supervisor such as a life guard keep watch over patrons using the swimming area will help to prevent any dangerous situations from occurring as well.
