Pool Safety

A pool is a terrific bonus for travelers, with many people requesting it as a must for their holiday vacations. Securing the safety of your pool and/or hot tub area and providing safety devices can keep this vacation highlight from becoming a potentially life-threatening hazard.

We recommend incorporating basic water safety guidelines into your house rules. As you review your pool’s current safety items, please consider the following to continue providing a safe and joyous vacation experience for your travelers:

First - A fence

· Install a fence or gate around your pool to help ensure the safety of children and persons requiring supervision.

· The gate should feature a highly placed lock that can help safeguard against small children gaining unsupervised access.

· Additionally, check that pool or spa covers are in use and functioning properly.

· Check with your local regulations to confirm requirements for pool fences, gates, and covers.

Second – Have rescue materials and references

· Ensure a safety flotation device is in place before each new stay. Be sure it is visibly positioned near your pool for quick access in an emergency.

· Signs indicating the depth and markers are also a great way to keep travelers safe and protect against shallow-water diving.

Third - Additional safety items

· You may want to install an alarm that sounds off each time a pool entryway is opened.

· You can maximize peace of mind by posting safety and health information on your listing and at the pool, such as Emergency Phone numbers and CPR instructions, in addition to the pool rules displaying potential hazards for persons who may be pregnant or who suffer from health conditions.
