The easiest job in the history of careers is the Phoenix summertime weather forecaster. It’s either sunny and hot or blazing and hotter. During some summers, glimpsing a cloud in the sky becomes the daytime equivalent of seeing a shooting star. With all that sunshine, there’s usually only one place for desert dwellers to relax: the pool. But this oasis can be a safety hazard that threatens the lives of our children. Kids in our area are often involved in pool-related accidents that result in emergency care or worse. With that in mind, here are three ways you can stay safe at the pool this summer. TEACH KIDS HOW TO SWIM The days of just tossing your kid in the pool and having them figure out how to swim have passed. Children need a strong foundational knowledge of how to tread water and swim correctly. Without this understanding, summertime at the pool can be more of a risk than a good way to beat the heat. DESIGNATE AWATERWATCHER Parents with small children should always designate a “water watcher” when they are at the pool. This adult will keep a close eye on the kids in the water to ensure they are free from any potential harm. Even if a lifeguard is present, a water watcher is still necessary. Pools can be crowded, and the lifeguard’s vantage point may hinder them from seeing all the risky areas. USE A POOL COVER Just because a pool isn’t in use doesn’t mean it’s not a threat. For private pools, a cover is necessary when you have young children. If you’ve ever had a rambunctious kid who doesn’t quite yet understand how to keep themselves out of harm’s way, then you know how quickly they can find trouble. The probability of a child falling in unintentionally is high, so when your pool is unattended, make sure to have it covered. In some cases, a pool accident results from faulty mechanical issues or the negligence of the pool owner or operator. If you’ve had a child harmed in a pool-related accident, contact us today.
