Flashcards
0/8
No Diving in Shallow Water
Diving in shallow water can lead to head and spinal injuries due to collision with the pool floor. Always check for depth markers and dive only in designated areas.
Listen to the Lifeguard
Lifeguards are trained to prevent and respond to emergencies. Following their instructions ensures the safety of all swimmers and helps maintain an orderly pool environment.
No Horseplay or Roughhousing
Engaging in rough play can lead to accidental injuries, as pools are not designed for such activities. Play gently to ensure everyone's safety.
Keep Food and Beverages Away from the Pool
Food and drinks can contaminate the pool water and attract pests. Consuming them in designated areas keeps the water clean and safe for everyone to use.
Respect Pool Hours
Swimming outside of the designated pool hours is dangerous as there may be no lifeguard on duty or insufficient lighting. Only swim when the pool is officially open and supervised.
No Running on Pool Deck
Running on wet surfaces can lead to slips and falls, potentially causing injuries or even drowning if someone hits their head. Always walk to prevent accidents.
Always Swim with a Buddy
Swimming with a buddy ensures that there is someone to help in case of emergencies like cramps or sudden illness. This rule makes it easier to notice when somebody is missing or in trouble.
No Glass Containers
Glass can break and cause injuries, especially on a slippery pool deck where it's difficult to see broken pieces. Use plastic containers to avoid accidents.
