Owning a swimming pool is a great way to relax, stay active, and enjoy quality time with family and friends. However, safety should always come first. At Make My Pool®, we prioritize swimming pool safety by offering expert pool maintenance, safety features, and guidance for homeowners in Dubai.
- Safety Fencing: - Height: Minimum 1.2m (as per Dubai regulations). - Material: Tempered glass, aluminum, or mesh with self-closing gates. - Childproof Latches: Key-operated locks for villas. - Pool Covers: Motorized or manual covers rated for weight (e.g., ASTM standards). 💡 Tip: Always keep pool gates locked when not in use!
Supervision: Never leave children unattended—assign a “water watcher” during parties. Swim Lessons: Enroll kids in ISR (Infant Swimming Resource) programs. Drain Covers: Install VGB-compliant covers to prevent entrapment. Pet Ramps: Allow animals to exit the pool easily. 💡 Tip: Establish a no-running, no-diving rule to prevent injuries!
Regularly inspect pool lights & electrical wiring – Faulty wiring can cause electric shocks. Keep electrical devices away from water – No phones, speakers, or appliances near the pool. Use a pool professional for maintenance – Faulty pumps, heaters, or lighting can be dangerous. 💡 Tip: Ensure GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protection is installed for all pool electrical components.
Store pool chemicals in a locked area – Keep away from children and direct sunlight. Follow chemical safety guidelines – Never mix chlorine and acids. Maintain proper pool chemistry – Balanced pH, chlorine, and alkalinity keep water safe. 💡 Tip: Read our Pool Chemistry 101 Guide for expert water management tips!
Have a first-aid kit nearby – Include bandages, antiseptic, scissors, and CPR instructions. Learn CPR – Pool owners should take a CPR course in case of emergencies. Post emergency numbers – Display contact details for ambulance, fire department, and lifeguards. 💡 Tip: Keep a rescue ring, life hook, or floating device near the pool for quick access!
Train pets to exit the pool – Teach them to use the steps or ramp. Use a pet-friendly pool cover – Prevents accidental falls. Never assume pets can swim – Some breeds struggle in water! 💡 Tip: Rinse your pet after swimming to remove chlorine and chemicals from their fur.
