Nationwide Industries® recognizes the importance of safeguarding these cherished moments, by providing essential guidelines and products designed to enhance pool and summer safety. By following these safety tips, you can create a secure environment for everyone allowing you to have peace of mind while enjoying the last few summer nights.
Summer Safety
During the summer, there are many opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment to ensure that summer activities stay exciting there are some considerations to keep in mind. Whether it is practicing water safety, protecting from the harsh summer rays with sunscreen, or staying hydrated, these and other measures are especially important for a fun-filled summer.
As families gather to bask in the enjoyment of pool season it is important to emphasize pool safety. Having guidelines, like a checklist that everyone can follow is the perfect approach to keeping things secure.
Pool Safety Checklist
Pool safety is of the utmost importance, especially during the summer months. Each year, thousands of accidents occur in residential pools, highlighting the critical need for pool safety protocols.
By prioritizing pool safety, families, and pool owners can significantly reduce any risk. Proper pool maintenance, regular gate inspection, and surveillance are just a few of the measures that should be put in place to ensure an exciting time. All these precautions can be difficult to remember, but Nationwide Industries® has created a comprehensive list of all safety measures to ensure pool safety each year.
Be Prepared
Before the invites go out for the final swim of the summer there are a few items Nationwide Industries® recommends pool owners to ensure safe swimming practices before the guests arrive.
- Take a CPR Training Course
- Keep a cellphone handy
- Invest in safety equipment (life jackets, arm bands, etc.)
- Always have an emergency life buoy
