Secure Your Pool Area
- Fencing for Protection: Every fiberglass swimming pool should be enclosed by a fence, at least four feet high, equipped with a self-closing and self-latching gate. This fundamental barrier serves as the first line of defense in preventing unsupervised access to the pool area.

Ensure every pool user is aware of the correct and safe methods to enjoy the pool. - Consultation on Safety Devices: Engage in dialogue with your pool provider about the necessity and proper installation of safety equipment. This includes safety ropes, child safety barriers, pool surface alarms, and safety covers, all mandated to follow the National Spa and Pool Institute’s guidelines.
