Step 2
First, never allow children to swim unattended. It only takes 30 seconds for a child to drown. In addition, it is best not to allow too many children and adults in the pool at one time. An overcrowded pool is an invitation to disaster. In addition, make a rule that all children are not permitted in the deep end of the pool unless accompanied by a parent.

Step 3
Aside from general safety measures, it is important to keep your pool clean and make sure it is properly filtered. If algae forms in a pool it is difficult to control and it can make a person sick. Finally, it is best to put up a high fence in the backyard. Neighbor children can easily climb a low fence and access the pool unsupervised
