Make sure your pool or spa has an effective barrier, such as a fence to help guard against unauthorized access.
Your pool or spa should have a barrier regardless of whether they are covered.
Door and windows leading to the pool areas should be locked.
Fence gates should have self-closing, self-latching mechanisms. Latches need to be out of reach of young children.
Watch
Never leave your child unattended in or near a swimming pool, hot tub, spa, not even for a second.
Keep toys, tricycles, and other children's play things away from the pool or spa.
Don't consider your children to be "drownproof" because they have taken swimming lessons.
Don't allow barriers, such as fences or walls, give you a false sense of security regarding your child's safety.
Learn
Learn how to administer CPR, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and other lifesaving techniques. To administer CPR correctly you must be properly trained.
Know how to contact your local emergency medical services. Install a phone or keep a cordless phone in the pool or spa area. Post the emergency number in an easy to see place.
Learn to swim and teach age appropriate children to swim.
Adult supervision is the best approach in the prevention of drowning!
