Responsible Adult Supervision is Key ---  There should always be an adult designated to maintain constant visual contact with children whenever they are near, or could get near, any body of water.

Here are a few resources to help you keep it safe and enjoyable :

 Safety Resources for Consumers

•  Consumer Brochures - The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals ("APSP")  has a variety of brochures and booklets with a wealth of information about pools, spas, and hot tubs. If you would like to have these brochures mailed to you, please call 1.800.323.3996. You can also download the brochures here.
•  Consumer Safety Checklist - APSP also offers a checklist of water safety measures that we encourage pool, spa, and hot tub owners to use in making sure that their installations are as safe as possible. Owners of older pools, spas, and hot tubs are encouraged to have their installation evaluated by an APSP member to learn of new technologies and equipment that can enhance water safety. Just type your zip code in the APSP.org Member Locator to find an APSP member in your area.

Kid's Websites

APSP sponsors a special website, SplashZoneUSA.com, dedicated to educating children and supervising adults about the importance of pool and hot tub safety for their child.
