Thinking about the approaching summer season may have you itching to open up your pool and dive in, but have you evaluated the safety standards of your pool since last year? It is important to check the standards of safety on your pool and the surrounding area before opening it for the season. Here are some important safety tips:

• Make sure the fence surrounding your yard/pool is secure and without loose boards, nails, etc. If you have not put up a fence, you may want to do so as this is typically a required standard of a town/city.


• Make sure pool filters are cleaned out and/or replaced


• If you haven’t already, install a “pool alarm.” A pool alarm is a waterproof alarm that can alert you when someone is in the pool. You can purchase alarms that can float right in the pool or an alarm for a gate/entryway to a pool.


• Make sure there is adequate rescue equipment within a few feet of the pool; such as life jackets, CPR masks, etc.


• Have a pool professional inspect your pool. These inspectors can make sure your drainage systems and filters are safe for swimmers.

Opening your pool for the summer can be an exciting time for you and your family; make sure that everyone is protected. The safer your pool is usually means the more you can save on things like homeowner’s insurance, as a safe pool presents less risk to an insurance company.
