It is important to remember when we go out into the pool area and there are toddlers, teens and adults in the water that we need to be on alert and not out to catch some rays, read a book or talk on the phone.
When we go out to the pool we need to be prepared. Here are some ideas to help you have what you need when you need it:
Prepare a Kit:
1. Zip Lock Bag to put your phone in to keep it from getting wet
a. The phone is for emergencies only
b. Do Not Talk on the phone while you are by the pool and there are people in the pool
2. First Aid Kit
a. A Simple First Aid Kit is essential for the minor things that may happen by the pool
3. Life Saver, Pool Noodle or Shepherds Hook
a. These are for reaching out into the pool and having someone grab hold when struggling. NEVER jump in to help, you may become a victim
4. Whistle
a. This is to get attention when needed
i. Getting children to stop something
ii. Getting help in a dangerous situation
5. Bottled Water
a. It is important to stay hydrated
6. Sunscreen
