There is NO substitute for adequate supervision. The "buddy system" of two children, is no substitute. Even people that can swim, very well, can drown when they bump their head, become entrapped, or have medical emergencies like seizures or black outs. DON’T LET THEM OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!
Pools and spas are attractive to children; what the court calls an "attractive nuisance". There must be a permanent barrier to entry. Local ordinances will specify a 3-sided or a 4-sided, non-climbable fence with self-closing, self-latching mechanisms on the gate. The gate should be locked when the pool is not in use. Do not place chairs or tables near a fence which would allow a child to climb over. Portable, above ground spas should have a hard top that locks on, preventing its use.
In addition to a barrier around the pool, NSPI promotes an idea called Layers of Protection, and has produced a pamphlet under the same name. This is the combination of many safety features working together to form several "layers" of safety protection around a swimming pool or spa. A simple fence just won’t do to protect the pool when it is not under supervision. Door exit alarms, infrared detectors or security cameras. Pool alarms, child alarms, or pool safety covers will all help to prevent accidents.

Ensure that the pool is in clear view from the house, and not obstructed by plants, canopies, solid fences, or darkness. This is not so that you can watch your swimmers from the house; rather to ensure that the pool is not in use when it is not supposed to be.
Place a phone nearby the pool with emergency numbers (911, fire department, poison control center, etc.) listed. Signage about the pool, with "pool rules" is a good idea, but remember to always instruct new users of your pool to what is allowed and what is not. Having a pool can make you popular with neighborhood friends of your children. If rules are not followed, do not allow these children to use the pool.

Having rescue equipment on hand can help prevent a drowning person from drowning someone else. Ring buoys & reaching poles with life hooks should be at the ready. First aid kits should be nearby also.
If you use a pool or spa cover, follow all instructions for their safe installation, use and maintenance. Always remove a cover completely before using the pool, and do not let standing water remain on top; pump it off.
Do not allow children to play near a pool. Games and bike riding can result in someone going in, perhaps bumping their head on the way.
Learn CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation).
Have your children take swimming lessons at an early age.

According to USA Swimming and the National Swimming Pool Foundation, there are approximately 10 million swimming pools in the United States. With the average backyard pool topping off at a whopping 25,000 gallons, it’s evident that this status symbol is thirsty.
The amount of water it takes to operate a pool goes well beyond the initial fill, because the sun and hot weather quickly evaporate a pool’s water. The rate at which the water evaporates in a pool varies in different climates and regions around the country.

Solar Swimming Pool Blanket
Use our new SOLAR-Clear™ solar blankets to heat your pool faster. Our solar blankets are laced with air bubbles that act as an insulating layer, shielding your pool from cool winds and nighttime cooling. |

The benefits of using the cover most certainly outweigh the extra effort, because a cover can reduce the amount of make-up water needed by 30 to 50 percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Heavy-duty polyethylene solar blanket material works with the sun to capture heat as it prisms through the raised air pockets in the Solar Blanket bubble cover material.
Pool Solar Covers raise the pool water temperature by absorbing sunlight during the day (as much as 10-15 degrees!) and retaining the heat at night. Keeps the heat put in by your gas pool heater, electric pool heater or roof mounted solar heater, saving hundreds of dollars per year in pool heating costs!

| Savings also come from a reduction in water evaporation and chemical evaporation.
