While pools are places of fun and enjoyment, we need to ensure they are also built with a safety-first mindset. Any proper Baton Rouge pool contractor will tell you that. It's also key to heed their advice regarding having the right type of safety features, especially for children and your pets.

Child Pool Safety Tips

Besides teaching proper etiquette to children on how to behave around a pool area, it's also crucial that you supervise them at all times. It's also vital they are all well-trained to know how to swim and are confident in their capabilities. Ensure you have another adult around if you need to take a break from safeguarding them as there is never a good time to leave your children unsupervised in a pool.

You can also install a pool fence that prevents very young children from entering the pool when they aren't supposed to. When pool toys aren't being used get them out of the pool as they can be a hazard for children.

Pet Pool Safety Tips

You might think your furry best friend is a natural swimmer, but you'll be surprised how few actually know how to swim, so train them properly. Life jackets are also available that will make them look adorable and save their life.

Give them their own access to get in and out of the pool via a ramp or stairs. This will give them the confidence to navigate properly in and around the pool. Understand that the pool may not be the most dangerous thing to your pets. It’s good to monitor activity and know that staying outside all day long in the heat can be a hazard.
