It's all fun and games until
someone meets an accident in your swimming pool, so it's better to
incorporate safety into your pool design. All it takes is a little
foresight, expert advice, and a few smart tweaks and you're on the
way to summer fun.
Slip-proofing
You're
only one slippery tile away from banging your head onto the pavement,
so consider using more slip-proof materials to minimize slip and fall
injuries. The best part is that you don't have to sacrifice anything
in the aesthetic department. Slip-proof tiles look just as good, if
not better, as glossy tiles.
Rail Grip
Another
way to avoid poolside accidents is to add rail grips and footholds on
the sides of the pool. This is important for the deep ends for
obvious reasons.
Depth Markers
Speaking
of deep, it's hard to try gauge the depth of a swimming pool because
of a phenomenon called refraction. This is why adding depth markers
is a big boon, especially to little children or inexperienced
swimmers. If you know where the deep areas are, then you can stay
away from them more easily.
A
safe pool is a great pool; you can have all the fun you want without
having to worry about any unfortunate accidents. After all, you owe
it to your guests to see to your own and their safety. Doing just
that has never been simpler.
