Summertime means no more school – until August – and long days playing outside and having fun in the pool. As Parents it’s important that we make sure our children know the pool rules and proper safety procedures, so that in the event of an emergency things can be handled calmly.
Following the rules and being safe doesn’t mean you can’t have fun, when you play smart and think before you act, everybody can enjoy a day at the pool without problems.
