or water watcher, especially when children are in and around the pool.

• Learn to swim.

• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.

• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about

the use of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.

• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.

• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.

• Supervise, supervise, supervise.
