Do not consider young children to be drown-proof because they have had swimming lessons or are wearing a life jacket. Do not use flotation devices, such as water wings, as a substitute for supervision. Keep rescue equipment by the pool. Be sure a telephone is poolside with emergency numbers posted nearby. Remove toys from in and around the pool when it is not in use.
Toys can attract young children to the pool.
Never prop open the gate to a pool. Keep CD players, radios, and other electrical devices away from pools or nearby wet surfaces. Stay out of the pool during rain, thunder, and lightning storms. No glass of any kind in the pool area. No running, pushing, wrestling or disturbance in the pool area.
