One of the perks to enjoy while living at Saint James Place Apartments is the access to the swimming pool, hot tub, and jacuzzi. Whether you swim laps in the pool for exercise, or simply relax in the hot tub after a long day, its good to review swimming pool/hot tub safety guidelines, and that is the topic of todays blog post.
Swimming Pool Safety Guidelines
Never swim alone. It is common sense, if you are by yourself and get into trouble, no one is there to help you out of the pool. Swim with a buddy.
As a matter of public health, not to mention common courtesy, shower before you get into the pool. Clean bodies going in mean less bacteria or other matter to contend with. Also, if you are taking a baby or toddler into the pool, please use a specially designed swim diaper, and dispose of it appropriately too.
Be aware of your surroundings. If you are diving into the pool, check the depth before you plunge headfirst into the water. Dont dive into a group of swimmers. Watch out for others personal space.
Be considerate. Keep all of your stuff neatly together. You dont want your pile of things to be what the kind who is running (instead of walking like he should) be what he trips over.
Hot Tub Safety Guidelines
Shower or bathe with soap before entering the hot tub; this will help decrease the risk of bringing harmful bacteria into the hot tub with you.
During lightning/thunder storms, stay out of the hot tub. We do not need anyone to be electrocuted.
Do not use glass containers in or around a hot tub. Glass shards are nearly impossible to find in a hot tub, dont risk breakage and injury.
Observe time limits posted for the number of users and the amount of time to safely spend in the hot tub.
Infants, and children up to the age of five should not be allowed in hot tubs; pregnant women are also cautioned against spending time in hot tubs, especially during the first trimester.
Do not drink alcohol before or during, a hot tub session; save the drinks for after the soak.
Enjoy using the pool and hot tub this summer at St. James! Do you have additional tips for swimming/hot tubbing safety? If so, please share in the comments. And thanks for reading todays blog post. Swimming Pool Safety
