What are some standard safety precautions for my pool area?

Poolside Preparations

The pool is a place for family fun. Standard safety precautions can help keep it that way. Post CPR instructions and the 911 emergency number in the pool area. Keep lifesaving equipment, such as a pole, life preserver, and rope in the pool area. Be sure no one trips on them by hanging them from the fence or somewhere close by, but off the ground. Always have a phone nearby the pool area. However, do not answer the phone while your children are in the pool; use the phone only to call 911 should a problem occur.
