Having your own private pool is a thing of joy, especially during the hottest months. But it is also a great responsibility and as the homeowner, you have the job of ensuring the safety of those who use it. In this blog, we are going to discuss ways to keep your backyard pool safe.


Perhaps the greatest safety measure you can take is to ensure no one can gain unauthorized access to the swimming pool. The best way to do this is with a pool barrier. A wall or fencing can be used for the barrier, and it must be able to prevent a child from climbing over or under it. Keep in mind that a child can drown in even a shallow body of water, so you should also have a barrier around hot tubs, above-ground pools, and spas.


Your home’s exterior walls can also act as pool barriers, but you will need to take all the proper safety precautions. For example, any window or door that has direct access to the pool area should be fitted with locks and an alarm that will sound any time someone opens them. The alarm sound should also be distinct from any other sound and loud enough to be heard throughout the home.


So, while a backyard swimming pool is a great place to relax and unwind, it is important to maintain a high safety standard and prevent anyone from accessing the area unsupervised.
