and death. To reduce your risk of injury, read and follow all product, package and package

and safety guidelines cover some common risks of water recreation, but do not cover all

• Learn to swim.
• Take the time to learn CPR and first aid.
• Instruct anyone who is supervising pool users about potential pool hazards and about the use
of protective devices such as locked doors, barriers, etc.
• Instruct all pool users, including children what to do in case of an emergency.
• Always use common sense and good judgement when enjoying any water activity.
