The golden rule is to supervise the children at all times in the pool area. Teach them some basic safety rules too:
Don’t go into the pool area without permission or without an adult
Stay at the shallow end if you are not a strong swimmer
Don’t run or push each other around the pool
Never hold anyone under the water
Don’t dive into the shallow end
Don’t play or swim near the drains or suction outlets
With proper supervision, pool time can be safe and fun but things do sometimes go awry, so be ready to act fast. It’s also an excellent idea as a parent or guardian learn CPR skills.
