Never drink the water from the swimming pool. It contains chemicals that are harmful to the body. If you have just finished eating or are tired, do not go for a swim. Eating or fatigue will cause you to cramp in the water, making swimming impossible. Stay out of the pool and away from the water during a storm.
Lightning is attracted to areas of water.
Keep all electrical devices such as radios and CD players away from the pool. If electrical devices come in contact with water, they can shock you as well as others. Do not run on the pool deck. The areas around a pool are wet and slippery, making it very easy for you to fall. Adults should never drink alcoholic beverages before swimming.
