8– Adult supervision is always necessary. Never take your eyes o children or swimmers in the water or
near the pool, not even for a minute. Designate an adult “pool watcher”. Make sure that you or your
pool watcher are able to intervene in less then 10 seconds in order to save a life or avoid injury.
9– If a child is missing, always look in the pool rst.
10– Be proacve to prevent death or disability.
11– The pool owners and “pool watchers” should learn CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitaon).
12– Swimming pool barriers or fences with self-latching and self-closing gates which prohibit children or
other people from gaining access to the pool must be installed around the pool to avoid injury or death.
The latch should be out of reach of children. Consult your municipality for more details and specica-
ons. Warning! A winter or solar cover should never be considered as safety equipment. Covers must be
completely removed while the pool is in use. A person may become trapped under a pool cover, which
may result in severe bodily injuries, including death.
13– Keep rescue equipment such as life rings and reaching poles by the pool. Please consult you munici-
pality to get a rescue equipment list.
14– A funconing xed or cellular phone must be within reach of the pool watcher. Note: if 911 is not
available in your area, make sure emergency numbers are easily accessible.
15– Avoid entrapments. Sucon from a pool drain or skimmer can trap an adult or children underwater:
 Hair can get caught in faulty drain cover. Soluon: long haired swimmers should wear a bathing
cap.
 Fingers, toes, jewelry and bathing suits can get caught in the boom drain. Soluon: make sure the
boom drain cover is in place and in working condion.
 The stomach, back or lower back can get suconed on the boom drain. Soluon: make sure the
boom drain sucon is equally distributed with the skimmer or completely shut.
A pool with a broken, loose, missing or non compliant drain cover should be considered as dangerous
and should not be used.
16– The electrical circuit shall be in concordance with the Naonal Electrical Code.
17– During nighme pool use, arcial lighng must be use to illuminate pool, all safety signs, ladders,
steps, deck surfaces and walkways.
18– All electrical devices must be installed far enough away from the pool so that anyone climbing upon
them would not be able to reach the pool structure or the water.
