Swimming Pool Safety Tips

Does your central valley rental property have a swimming pool? If so, with summer quickly approaching, your tenants may be planning on utilizing that pool on a daily basis. This is why you should focus more on safety now than ever before. In this article, we will share with you a variety of safety tips that you should follow to ensure that your pool stays safe during the summer months.

Tip #1 – Never Leave A Child Unattended

The most important safety tip that you should require your tenants to follow if they are going to use the pool is to make sure that if children are swimming in the pool, an adult must be present at all times.

This tip is important because, children under the age of 10 are highly susceptible to drowning in swimming pools if they don’t know how to swim and are left unattended so it’s important to always make sure that an adult is present at all times two watch over children in the pool and confirm that they’re swimming safely.

Tip #2 – Instruct Children To Stay Away From Pool Drains

#3 – Install A Proper Barrier Around Your Pool

It doesn’t matter if you own a single-family rental property, or a multi-family rental property, your swimming pool should have a barrier around it like a fence with a self-latching gate. This will make it impossible for children to use the pool without adults present because they won’t be able to enter the pool area without being with someone who has a key

Besides the tips in this article, you should also verify if one or more tenants who live in your rental property know CPR because, this will also help to ensure the safety of children if there’s someone around at all times who is able to save a child’s life.
