Keep Child Within Arms Reach

Parents must constantly supervise tots who are in the pool area. No running inside to grab a drink, towels, etc. This also means no mindless gabbing on the phone while wee ones swim.

Why isn't "Teach your kids to swim" ever on the list of things people can do to keep their kids safe near a pool? I live in Arizona and it constantly astonishes me how many people have pools and kids who can't swim. Not that dogs and kids are the same, but when we moved to a house with a pool we threw the dogs in over and over and over again until they could swim and knew the way out. It just seems like common sense.
