Supervision

We need to learn to take this factor seriously. Supervision of pool equipment is key, especially if there is a child in the pool or spa area. This should not only apply when there is a child, but also when there is a learner in the facility. This will ensure that we avoid accidents or cases of drowning.

Pool/spa safety covers

It's important to note that all pools and spas must have their safety covers. This is to ensure that children playing around the facility are safe enough and that also to avoid accidents that may occur when children are playing.

The person taking care of the swimming pool/spa should ensure that the safety covers are in place at all times and that they should only be removed when cleaning and replaced immediately.
