May is National Water Safety Month, which will be celebrated throughout the US through educational programs, public service announcements, and much more. Swimming and other water-related recreation is extremely popular, especially during the summer, so it’s important to spread the word about water safety.
Here at Triad Associates, we provide a number of services related to pool construction and pool repair, from coping and plastering to creating unique and attractive pool decks. Take a look at just a few pool safety tips below, and make sure to check out National Water Safety Month to learn all the rest!
- Learn to swim, and make sure your children know how to swim.
- During social gatherings, appoint a “designated watcher” to monitor children.
- Equip doors and windows that exit to the pool area with alarms.
- Keep rescue equipment/first aid near the pool and learn CPR.
- ALWAYS maintain visual contact with children in a pool area. If a child is missing, check the pool first.
- Remember that flotation devices are NOT a substitute for supervision.
We hope you’ll take the time to learn more about water safety this month and spread the word to your friends and family! If you are considering installing or repairing the pool of your Boston area home, contact our Haverhill hardscaping company today.
