OCFA Water Safety Month

• Follow the ABC’s of water safety to make sure you know how to keep yourself and others safe in and around the water.
• Install and maintain multiple barriers for protection, such as fences, gates, safety covers, and alarms.
• Install and maintain proper fencing around the pool and spa to isolate swimming areas. Use self-closing, self-latching gates that open outward and away from the pool.
• Water safety starts at home. To keep children safe, remove items such as chairs or tables that a child could use to climb over a fence.
