"Welcome back to Expert Village my name is Alisha. Let's continue and talk about child proofing a pool. Another thing with pool safety is you want to keep the area free from debris and other toys. A child my see these goggles on the pool deck and just think if I just throw them in I can go in and get them. When really they are unable to swim and retrieve them properly. Another thing you want to keep your mind is watch for your pool cleaning items. This does not seem like anything big but it easily can be tripped over and someone could fall into the pool. Another key item to keep out of the pool at all times are floating things. Kids would see this lobster and say hey I want to go in and get that out not realizing that they are actually that far away from the lobster and they really can't physically reach it. The kid then ends up falling into the pool and could have a potential harm of drowning. So always keep your tools up and out of the way this I can just hand on the fence and the kid can always look at it but yet it is not in the pool for hazards."
