A Safer Swim: Be Prepared

From Pools, Spas, Patios

One of the most overlooked aspects of owning a swimming pool is the necessity for a safe environment.  Most homeowners spend lots of money to outfit their outdoor living space without considering the proper training and equipment necessary for a safe swimming experience.  This post from Pools Spas & Patios suggests that all pool owners should be trained in first aid, CPR, and water safety.  

Here is an excerpt from the post:

Courses in this subject typically combine swimming skill instruction and water safety knowledge, which can save lives.
