Pool Safety

Many communities have enacted safety regulations requiring barriers for residential in-ground and above-ground swimming pools. In addition to following your community’s laws, parents who own pools should take precautions to reduce the possibility that their youngsters will access the family pool, or a neighbor’s pool or spa, without supervision. This booklet provides tips for creating and maintaining effective barriers to pools and spas.
