Pool Rules

 

This past weekend we spent plenty of time in the pool

On Saturday I had 20 people at the house

We had at least 12 who got in the pool

 

 

In our Phoenix family we have 4 non-swimmers

So you can imagine how much concern

We have when that many kiddos and adults get in the pool

 



 

Before anybody was allowed in the pool

We had a family meeting

Every non-swimmer had an adult assigned to them

Each adult stayed with their non-swimmer

We also chose a 'life-guard'

That person sat pool-side and just watched

 

There was to be no running, diving or jumping from the edge of the pool

Too many kids can lead to potential injuries

 

If one of the kids thought another kid was having trouble

They were told to yell - 'Baby Down'

At which time ALL would stop and make sure everybody was safe

 

Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and anybody else with kids and pools:

Please watch your kids around water

Please have 1 adult per each child who does not swim

Please have a 'life-guard' whose job is to just watch all swimmers

 

Never swim alone - even adults

Always keep your pool gates closed and locked

Keep pool toys OUT of the pool when not in use

(kids love toys and will try to get them if they are in the pool)

 

AND

Mostly, Enjoy time with your family and friends

Just be watchful
