How can I ensure safety of the pool/backyard area and guest safety?

Take care of the following safety steps for ensuring security of both yourself and your Guests:

Water Safety Guidelines to be taken care by Hosts

• Ensure pool maintenance by using proper cleaning chemicals.
• Make First aid kit available including life jackets.
• Ensure that the pool address is posted on the site in case of an emergency.
• Ask Guests to keep their children under strict supervision.
• Post signage for pool safety rules.
• The pool area should be secured with a fence that has a self-closing.
• Let guests remove all toys from the pool once party is done.
• All pool drains should be VGB compliant and checked regularly.

Water Safety Guidelines to be taken care by Guests

• Read and follow all pool safety rules.
• Always supervise children and remain in arm’s reach.
• All guests should have basic swimming skills.
• Those who cannot swim must wear US Coast Guard approved life jackets.
• Everyone should not be near to pool drains and jets.
• There should be no roughhousing, breath holding games, dunking or throwing children.
• Learn Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
• Know the address of the pool in case you need to call 911 as first responders will need to know the address.
