1. Learn to swim!

Everyone should learn to swim...it could be your Life Preserver.  From Beginner to Intermediate to Advanced, there's a swimming class for you.

 

2. Never swim alone!

 

Always use the buddy system.  That way, somebody will be there to help if you need it...plus, it's more fun to swim with friends.

 

3. No diving in shallow water!

 

You can seriously hurt your head or neck...so make sure the water's deep enough.

 

4. No glass containers around the pool!

 

Use plastic or other non-breakable items only.

 

5. Swim only in clear weather and head for cover when a storm threatens!

 

When storms are coming, stay out of the water and go inside or seek other shelter.

 

6. No running or horseplay around the pool!

The surface is slick and wet. You could slip and fall.

 

7. Always keep electrical appliances away from the pool!

 

Electricity and water don't mix and could kill you.

 

8. Never jump in the water to save someone in trouble!

 

Throw them a life preserver, or something they can grab onto.

 

9. Know how to dial 911!
