Pool Safety Day is being celebrated throughout the U.S. this week – July 22 – July 29, 2012

Pool Safety Day is being celebrated throughout the U.S. this week – July 22 – July 29, 2012.  This event was created to encourage all Americans to observe pool safety habits every day.

Organizations around the country are participating in a variety of ways.  Pool facilities are hosting events that focus on water safety, such as swimming lessons, CPR training and water safety demonstrations.  Cities and states have issued proclamations declaring one day during this time period the official Pool Safety Day.  Other organizations are partnering with local fire departments and public safety agencies to arrange for residential pool safety checks throughout the community.

If you’d like to create posters or other pool safety materials, free materials are available by emailing poolsafety@widmeyer.com.

DCS Pool Barriers fully supports Pool Safety Day (and year-round pool safety) and is always available to advise residential and commercial pool owners on a wide variety of pool barriers – from door alarms and gates to top-grade stainless steel pool fencing.  We offer a complete range of pool barriers and are happy to work with any pool owners to help ensure the safety of every pool.
