Headed for a swim today? Will you be going to the pool with family and friends a lot this summer in Kissimmee? If so, you need to heed all safety policies posted at the pool. Public and private pools are dangerous places for people of all ages. People sometimes let their guard down, especially when on vacation, and this is when tragedy can strike. Follow these pool safety tips to avoid tragedy this summer.

Drowning is an avoidable tragedy that sadly affects thousands of people each year. It is the leading cause of unintentional death for children between the ages of 1 and 14, which is why you need to keep a strong eye on what your kids are doing when you are at the pool, even the pool in your own backyard.

If you have been playing at a basketball court or pickle ball court at the pool, it’s best to rinse off with your suit still on before getting in the pool. This removes the bacteria that has accumulated on your body.

If you or a child has been sick recently, you should avoid going in the water. This is how bacteria is spread and it can easily infect another swimmer, especially if you’ve been sick with diarrhea.

Make sure no one runs at the pool. The ground around the pool will be wet and it can easily cause you to slip. If you slip, you could break an arm or a leg and even fall into the pool and hurt your neck or head.

Suffering an injury while on vacation can cause a lot of undue stress and sadness. Preventing pool-related injuries should be a priority when going for a swim or spending a day at the local pool in Kissimmee, Florida.
