Pool Covers Inc. Safety Pool Cover

Pool Safety Tips and Advice

Since our inception, our purpose has been to provide safety, savings, and convenience to California families like yours.

So although we make every effort to provide you with the safest product available, we want to stress the following:

Pool Safety Tips

  • Pool Covers, Inc. recommends layers of protection, of which our safety pool cover is one layer.
  • There is no substitute for constant adult supervision. Most drownings occur during a five minute or less lapse in supervision. Never leave a child unattended!
  • Do not consider children water safe just because they have had swimming lessons.
  • Instruct baby sitters about the potential backyard hazards.
  • Install a telephone poolside with emergency telephone numbers permanently posted, as well as your home address.
  • Beware of free-floating bubble-type covers. A child can slip beneath one unnoticed.
  • Always take the pool cover completely off the pool before swimming. A partially covered pool can be a hazard.
