Pool tipsBy Sue Doerfler 1. Regularly check that the gate latches securely and that spring mechanisms work properly. Regularly oil the hinges and latches. 2. Don't allow children to play in the pool area. Remove all toys, tricycles - anything a child might want to get - from the vicinity. 3. Post CPR instructions and the 911 emergency number in the pool area. 4. Keep lifesaving equipment, such as a pole, life preserver and rope - in the pool area. Hang them from the fence so people won't trip on them. 5. Have a phone handy to the pool area. Do not answer the phone while your children are in the pool; use the phone only to call 911 should a problem occur. | ||||||
