Have your first aid skills updated

Your water pumps and your other pool equipments are not the only ones that will be better after an update. Your life saving skills could use some ramp-up too. While it is best that you know the whats, hows, whys and whens of rushing first aid in water-related emergencies, there may be better techniques at giving them. So be sure to get your knowledge updated. Read the latest releases of first aid books online or attend first aid classes and seminars.

Keep the pool area free from clutter

Clutter in the pool area is not only unsightly. They can also pose dangers to people. This is especially if the clutter is done by maintenance equipments that require power to run like pool speck pumps. Electricity and water is not a nice combo. So better make it a habit to neatly tuck everything in the shed after use. Even pool rakes should also be kept away because a kid or anybody can trip on it and fall into the water.

Advise everyone to be in proper swim wear

There is a reason why people are advised to be in proper swim wear and this is not to "flaunt what they got." Proper swimwear provides:

- less drag and better movement - better buoyancy - insulation against the pool's cold water

For these and more, getting everyone to wear proper attire for any swimming activity is a step ahead to ensure that they will be at ease and that they will be better at being safe in the water.

Invest in quality equipments

Whether it is for the "heavy-duty" equipments such as your pool's submersible pumps or for safety nets, lanes and floaters, always go for the wise choice of investing in those that will give you quality. Quality equipments may cost you more than substandard ones but you can be sure that you'll get the value of what you give out. This way, you can trust that a trusty water filter will actually rid the water in your pool of debris and sick allergy-triggering microorganisms.

Never be short on reminders

Always remind everyone they should never even think of going for a swim especially if they are amateurs. Whether you expect swimming in the pool this day or not, be sure to regularly check on the area and check with your kids. Don't trust it to the floaters.

Have these pointers in mind. Keep your pool area fun and safe!
