Safe Kids Home Always actively supervise children in and around
water. Don't leave, even for a moment. - Stay where you can see,
hear, and reach kids in water. Avoid talking on the phone,
preparing a meal, reading, and other distractions. - Children
should swim only in designated and supervised swimming areas. -
Teach children never to swim alone. Use barriers to keep kids
away from water when you're not around. - Four-sided isolation
fencing, at least five feet high and equipped with self-closing
and self-latching gates, should be installed around all pools
(including inflatable pools) and spas. Fencing should completely
enclose the pool or spa and prevent direct access from a house
or yard. - Install barriers of protection around your home pool
or spa in addition to the fencing, such as pool alarms, pool
covers, door alarms, or locks. - Never prop open the gate to a
pool barrier. Don't leave toys that could attract children in or
around a pool. - Empty buckets, wading pools, and other
containers immediately
