Quick Tips to use for California Pool Safety

• Safety safety safety: Never leave children unattended in or around a pool. Keep a phone by the pool for emergency calls or answering.
• Do not let your child use or rely on air-filled toys and "safety aids" such as “floaties.”
• The California safety fence (required for pools) should completely separate the pool from the house and play area. It should also self-close and self-latch, with latches higher than the children's reach.
• Anyone watching young children around a pool should learn CPR and be able to rescue a child.
• Toys should always be removed from the pool after use so that children are not tempted to reach for them, not considering their own safety.
• Children should be trained in water survival safety from the time they are able to crawl to the pool. Do not consider a child “drown-proof” just because he or she can swim or has had California swimming lessons.
• If a child is missing, the pool should always be checked first, as each second counts.
• If unattended, don’t leave the California pool safety fence open at any time, even for a second.
