Supervision and Safety Precautions

The key to swimming pool safety is proper supervision. Even a momentary lapse can result in a horrible tragedy. It only takes a few seconds for a child to slip underwater and drown.

Arizona Statute 36-1681 requires all pool owners to:

• Enclose their pool with at least a five-foot wall, fence or other barrier
• Have no openings in the wall, fence or barrier that are larger than four inches in diameter.
• Have a self-closing gate that self-latches. The latch must be at least 54 inches above the ground.
