MCTXSheriff Shares Important Pool Safety Guidelines for the Community

Montgomery County Sheriff Department Reminds Citizens about Pool Safety

Pool safety is crucial during summer. Here are the steps to take to ensure that everyone stays safe:

Enroll children in swimming lessons.
Do not play or swim near drains or suction outlets.
Always watch children when they are in or near water, and never leave them unattended.
Install proper fences, barriers, alarms, and covers.
Learn CPR.

Take the Pool Safety Pledge:

-Designate a water watcher every time children are in or near the water.
- Make sure your kids know how to swim.
- Learn CPR as a parent or guardian.
- Always remove portable pool ladders when not in use.
- Ensure all permanent pools have a proper fence, gate, and safe drain covers.

Following these steps can help ensure a safe and enjoyable time for everyone.

I grew up on a Girl Scout Camp. NO ONE was allowed in the deep end until they could swim across the pool width and back without stopping! You had to be a strong swimmer too. No puppy dog paddlers. I totally disagree with our pool guards who allow small children on the sliding boards in the deep end.
