Ramsey, NJ -- (SBWire) -- 07/02/2014 --Millions of people throughout the United States turn to the pool to stay cool, while enjoying the wonderful summer weather. Whether people are relaxing in the in ground pool over their friend’s house, or in their own back yard, the most important thing to remember is to stay safe. According to the swimming pool contractors of Bergen County, NJ, Thomas Flint Landscape Design and Development, approximately 200 children drown in pools each year. The swimming pool contractors encourage homeowners to take the necessary steps to make their swimming pool environment safe to reduce and potentially eliminate the alarming statistic.

Thomas Flint Landscape Design and Development suggests that homeowners secure their pool with protective barriers. This can include a fence with a self-closing gage. Also, when not in use, the company suggests that the pool or hot tub is covered, as well as removing any ladders so the pool cannot be accessed. To take an extra step in poolside safety, homeowners can also install a pool alarm that will send an alert each time a person enters the pool.

The custom pool builders of Bergen County, NJ also suggest that children are under active supervisions by a parent or trusted adult at all times. A responsible person, perhaps someone who is CPR certified, or is in training to become a lifeguard, should be designated to watch the pool when people are over.

Thomas Flint Landscape Design and Development always ensures the pools they are building are secure and enforce pool safety, speaking of the dangers to homeowners who are new pool owners. Taking the necessary steps to ensure poolside safety is important and does not take much effort.
