17. Safety Guidelines
Your children's safety depends on you!
The risk is greatest with children under the age of 5. Accidents don't just happen to others! Be prepared for them!
Never leave a child alone near water of any kind. Never let your child out of your sight. Prohibit pool access if the filtration
system(s) is damaged.
Reminder of a few basic safety rules, monitor and be ready to act:
■ Children should be monitored closely at all times.
■ Designate a single person responsible for safety.
■ Keep children under stricter supervision when there are multiple users in the pool.
■ Never leave a child alone near a swimming pool.
■ Never leave a child who cannot swim without adult supervision.
■ Never let a child swim alone.
■ Ask people who are not strong swimmers to use personal flotation equipment.
■ Equip your child with suitable armbands or floaters when near the pool.
■ Provide life preservers and poles beside the pool.
■ Teach your children to swim as soon as possible.
■ Wet the back of your neck, arms, and legs before entering the water.
■ Never enter the water too quickly, particularly after a meal, extended sun exposure, or intensive effort.
■ Learn lifesaving techniques, particularly those specific to children.
■ Prohibit diving and jumping into the pool.
■ Prohibit running and lively games in and around the pool.
■ Do not walk or sit on the ledge pieces.
■ Do not climb along the wall.
■ The ladder must be placed on a solid base and always be level.
■ You must always face the ladder when entering or exiting the pool.
■ Never use the ladder for other purposes than for which it was intended, i.e. entering and exiting the pool. It is not intended for
diving or jumping.
■ The ladder must be removed when not swimming.
■ Do not leave toys near the pool and in the pool when it is not supervised.
■ Periodically check that all pool parts are in good condition (e.g.: traces of rust on bolts and screws). Tighten or changes
screws and nuts as necessary.
■ Never modify parts; never remove parts; and never drill holes in the pool.
■ Keep the water clear and clean at all times.
■ Never operate the filtration system while using your pool.
■ Follow the installation instructions carefully, and consult the safety instructions for use and storage on chemical agent
packaging.
■ Store chemical agents out of the reach of children.
■ Memorise emergency numbers and display them near the pool (fire brigade: or ambulance: 999 or 112, poison control centre,
etc.).
■ Make sure you have a telephone near the pool so you do not need to leave your children unattended when you make a call.
■ Prohibit pool access if the filtration system is damaged.
We recommend you secure access to the finished pool using a protective device. The equipment listed below may
contribute to safety. Under no circumstances does it replace close surveillance.
■ Protective barrier (as per NF P306) with a constantly closed gate (a hedge, for example, may not be considered a barrier).
■ Cover (as per NF P 308) or manual or automatic protective shelter (as per NF P 309) correctly installed and secured.
■ Electronic presence or fall detector (as per NF P 307), operating and operational.
In case of accident:
■ Help the child out of the water as quickly as possible.
■ Immediately call the emergency services and follow the instructions provided.
■ Replace wet clothing with warm blankets.
