Summer Safety
As summer approaches and our children and family members begin enjoying swimming pools, we need to take a moment to think about water safety.
Always supervise young children when they are swimming in private and public pools. Teach your kids to swim as soon as possible. As the young boy in this article

shows us, knowing CPR could help prevent a great day in the pool from becoming a tragedy.
As a home owner who has a private pool in his/her backyard, you must be diligent to supervise your guest that are invited to swim in your pool. Make sure any hazards in your pool and pool area are addressed and fixed. Remember, as a home owner you are obligated to make sure your guests are not exposed to a known dangerous condition on your property.
