Fish Tails Swim School

As we enter Memorial Day weekend, we are forever thankful for the courage and sacrifice of so many for this country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Fish Tails will be closed Monday in observance of Memorial Day. As you barbecue and enjoy the outdoors this weekend, we encourage you to stay vigilant around water!

23% of child drownings happen during a family gathering near a pool (like Memorial Day weekend!!) and most drownings for children ages 1-4 occur in swimming pools or hot tubs.

So let's talk POOL SAFETY.

🔹 Install a 4-sided fence around the pool and properly latch the gate EVERY time you finish swimming

🔹 Have rips, tears, and malfunctioning locks on pool fences repaired immediately (if you need a local contact, let us know)

🔹 Teach children to always ask before entering the water

🔹 Constant supervision while children are swimming

🔹 Teach children to never swim near pool drains, skimmers, or other suction points

🔹 Avoid large inflatable rafts and toys as they often trap children beneath and hide swimmers in distress

🔹 Remove all toys from the pool after to reduce the temptation for curious kids to get back to the pool unattended

🔹 Ensure pool water is being tested regularly
