“The best way to ensure swimming pool safety is to never leave a child unattended in a swimming pool or spa area. There is no equipment or device that can replace supervision.”

– Jeff Saunders, Putnam Swimming Pool Service, Inc.

A swimming pool means fun and enjoyment for you, your family, and your friends. A swimming pool is also a responsibility, not just for the pool owner, but for anyone that swims in the pool.

We have listed various resources broken down into three categories to help you understand a little more about pool safety. Although this is very general information, it is a starting point for a dialogue with your family and friends about pool safety:

• Pool Laws and Regulations
• Swimmer Safety
• Pool and Chemical Safety

Each of these sections has a brief summary and information to learn more. We hope that this material helps you and your family in their quest for safe and fun swimming.
