Pool Safety Equipment

Why Should You Use Swimming Pool Safety Equipment?

Nothing beats parental supervision when it comes to keeping the pool area safe. Common sense and basic swimming pool safety precautions always apply: don’t drink and dive, don’t swim in bad weather, wait about 30 minutes after you eat, and don’t run around the pool, especially on wet concrete.

However, even if these rules are religiously followed, swimming pool accidents may still occur.

Besides, you can’t be around at all times and even when you’re actually supervising, it’s almost impossible to see everything during the entire swimming session. So, what will happen when you look away for just a second and the ‘life guard’ is not on duty? This is why it’s extremely important to install some swimming pool safety equipment to help keep your entire family safe especially when you’re away.

Types of swimming pool safety equipment

Pool Safety Nets – These are simple, but highly effective swimming pool safety products. Installing pool safety nets helps prevent accidental or unsupervised entry from kids, wandering infants, and pets. They also keep leaves, toys, and other items and debris out of the swimming pool. Besides reducing weekly pool maintenance costs, pool safety nets also reduce the chances of these items getting sucked into the inner workings of the pool.

Children’s Safety Vests – Children’s safety vests are well made and comfortable to wear and they don’t get in the way when your child is learning to swim. Most importantly, they do a very good job of adding extra buoyancy to keep your child afloat when needed.

Pet Scamper Ramps – Swimming pools can also be hazardous to our pets. Pool safety devices such as the Dog Scamper ramp provide the perfect escape route in case your pet falls into the spa or pool. Your pet will simply scamper up the ramp to safety! Keep the ramp tied to the side of the pool as the lightweight plastic ramp stays afloat at all times and you simply need to take it out of the water when it’s not needed.

Although there is some swimming pool safety equipment designed to be used when accidents occur, the safety products highlighted here are designed to help prevent accidents from happening. Most of this swimming pool safety equipment is easy to install and prevents access (intentional or accidental) into unsafe areas.
