A proper pool barrier helps stop accidents before they happen!
What TO DO
- Use a 4-sided fence that fully surrounds the pool
- Make sure the fence is at least 4 feet tall
- Install a self-closing, self-latching fence
What NOT TO DO
- Don’t leave the fence open or unlocked
- Don’t leave toys or furniture near the fence
- Don’t rely on a pool cover alone
Barriers help prevent drowning—but supervision is still key.
Water safety saves lives.
