Probably the number one concern of pool owners and prospective pool
owners alike is safety. The only way to enjoy your pool is
the safe way. Your pool can be a positive tool for teaching children,
and adults alike, the benefits of learning to swim and respect
for the water.
Waterproof the ones you love.
Playtime!
Waterproofing the ones you love can pay off in so many ways. You'll spend a lot of your
life in and around water; becoming a stronger swimmer now will benefit you for the rest
of your days. If you're someone who likes to be around water, for instance, you'll be
an asset in any water-related activity. Strong and confident swimmers make better
fishermen, boaters, skiers and canoers just to name a precious few.
Splish-splash!
But even if you don't choose to be around water, water is still a part of your life anyway.
Almost everywhere you turn, there are bodies of water - in golf courses, at the entrances to
subdivisions, in the streets after a heavy rain, even in your own bathtub. If you're
comfortable around water, you'll make a better parent, babysitter and neighbor.
Marco Polo!
Mandatory reading.
That's why we insist that you read each and every piece of literature enclosed in your coping and pool liner packages. You'll find several important items with which you must become familiar.
1. Inground Pool Owner's Handbook.
2. Liner warranty and registration card.
3. "DANGER" no diving area warning sign.
4. "No Diving" stickers.
5. "Caution" sticker for pool steps.
6. "The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your Pool," a booklet published by
The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (the APSP).
7. "Children Aren't Waterproof", a pamphlet published by
the APSP.
As members of the APSP, we would like to inform you of another publication that you
may wish to request from the
APSP: "Pool
and Spa Emergency Procedures for Infants and Children." This publication can be
