When you have a pool with little ones you have to remember their safety. You need to make sure that your pool is not accessible at any time. You know, you can use gates or a pool cover. Some companies make Winter Pool Covers but you need to think of something that will keep your kids out of the pool unless you are with them. Many winter pool covers are for protecting your pool from the outdoor debris of winter time and from having family accidents. I had no idea and this is a little off topic but you can purchase pool covers and they can warm your pool with solar power.
If you are with them, you need to remember to keep your best judgment. I used to be a life guard and I think sometimes I’m guilty of being carefree when it comes to water safety. I feel like, I’ll get to them in time. They will be fine as long as I can jump in after them. Sometimes I have to slap myself in the face and remind myself that they are one and two and have no idea what they are getting into when it comes to the water.
I remember watching an episode of Oprah a long time ago about water/pool safety. Some people take quite a few steps to protect their children. They do fencing, and a pool cover, but also, they have an alarm system that goes off inside the house that alerts them that their child has entered the pool area. I guess you can’t be too careful when it comes to their safety.
