7 Pool Safety Questions to Ask Yourself

July 3, 2017 By The Mav Team

Splash! That’s the sound of summer fun as you dive into your beautiful blue pool. But while pools can be relaxing and refreshing, they can also be dangerous.According to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings per year between 2005 and 2014, which breaks down to about ten deaths per day.

If you own your own pool, it’s important to follow rigid safety guidelines to make sure you, your family and your guests are safe this summer

To start, Doug Zanes, an Arizona accident and injury lawyer, suggests you please ask yourself the following questions:

– Does your pool or spa have a fence around it?
– Are you pool gates self-closing and self-latching?
– Have you installed door, gate, or pool alarms?
– Have you installed anti-entrapment drain covers to protect swimmers?
– Are all pool and spa covers in working order?
– Has your family received CPR training?
– Does everyone in you family know how to swim?

If you own a pool, Zane notes that your answer to all of the above questions should be “yes.”  Below, he offers seven safety tips that you must adopt.

Do not allow anyone to swim alone. Swim with a buddy because even adults can have a medical emergency requiring help;

– Your children must be taught basic water safety tips;
– In order to avoid entrapments, keep children away from pool drains;
– When people are using a pool or spa keep a telephone and other pool safety equipment close by;
– Look for any missing children in the pool or spa FIRST;
– An adult should maintain constant supervision of children swimming in the pool. Don’t trust the life of a child to another child;
– Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast approved life jackets when in the pool.
