In the sunny and fun-loving UAE, there's nothing better than diving into cool, clear water on a hot day. Whether you're splashing around with the family in a Bestway Pool, racing your siblings in Inflatable Pools, or simply relaxing in your Above Ground Pools, pool time is the best time.

But, safety always comes first.

Every pool, whether big or small, can be a place of fun and danger if we're not careful. It doesn't matter if you're enjoying one of those trendy Portable Pools in the backyard or taking Part in exciting Water Sports, keeping yourself and your loved ones safe is the most important thing.

In this guide, we'll walk you through 5 essential pool safety tips that you and your family should follow every time you step into the water. These tips are simple to follow, yet they can save lives. So, let's dive in!

Tip 1: Keep Watch

Let's begin with the golden rule of Pool Safety: Always watch the water.

Did you know that drowning is silent and can happen in just seconds? It's not like the movies where someone shouts and splashes. A person, especially a child, can slip underwater quietly and that's what makes constant supervision so important.

Here's what you can do:

• Always have a Water Watcher, an adult whose only job is to watch the swimmers.
• Rotate the role if needed. Bestway Pools often come with Water Watcher tags, so everyone knows who's on duty.
• Never rely only on floaties or toys for safety. They are fun, not lifesavers!

Remember: Even if you're using a small Inflatable Pool, you should treat it with the same respect as a large Swimming Pool. One minute is too long to look away.

Tip 2: Use Layers of Protection

Supervision is key, but extra safety layers will help protect your family when eyes aren't enough.

Here are some ideas to make your Pool area safer:

• Install a fence around your Portable Pool or Above Ground Pool.
• Use door alarms or pool covers when the pool is not in use.
• Remove pool ladders or steps after swimming, kids are curious, and if they can't climb in, they can't get in trouble.
• Move any nearby furniture or toys away from the pool's edge, kids love to climb!

Whether your pool is permanent or a temporary Bestway inflatable pool, barriers can make a huge difference in protecting your little ones.

Tip 3: Pool Smarts

Swimming is fun, but it's also a life skill. And just like riding a bike or crossing the road, kids need to be taught how to swim and how to be smart around pools.

Enroll your children in Swimming Lessons, many UAE community centers and private trainers offer them.

Practice water confidence at home using Portable Pools or Inflatable Pools.

Talk to your kids about basic pool rules:

• No running.
• No pushing.
• No diving in shallow water.
• Always ask permission before swimming.

If you're hosting a pool party or playdate, ask the kids and parents about Swimming skills. Know who can swim, who needs floaties, and who might need extra help.

Having fun in the Water Sports world starts with knowing how to stay safe in it.

Tip 4: Stay Away from the Drain

This might seem small, but it's super important, always stay away from the Pool Drain.

Here's why:

• Drains create strong suction that can trap hair, swimsuits, or even small hands.
• A broken or missing drain cover is very dangerous.

Before swimming in Above Ground Pools or Bestway Pools, do a quick safety check:

• Is the drain cover secure?
• Are there no loose parts or sharp edges?
• Are kids aware not to sit on or play near the drain?

Even if it's just a small Inflatable Pool, you should still teach your kids to respect the pool's features and stay safe.

Tip 5: Be Prepared

When you own a Pool, you also take on a big responsibility. Part of that is being prepared, just in case something goes wrong.

Learn basic CPR (there are great first-aid courses across the UAE).

Keep a first aid kit and rescue gear nearby. That could include:

• Life rings
• Reaching poles
• A waterproof whistle

Read your pool's safety manual, even if you think you know it all.

• Hang up a colorful pool rules sign.
• Make it Part of your routine, like putting on sunscreen or inflating floaties.
