Welcome to your home for BACKYARD FAMILY FUN, brought to you by Pride Pools, Spas, and Leisure Products.

Dee Daniels and Marshall Smith discuss spring and summer backyard pool and spa safety, emphasizing that fun and safety should coexist. They recommend keeping key rescue tools nearby, including a shepherd’s hook and a life ring, especially when guests or kids’ pool parties are involved. They advise inspecting pool entry points such as ladders, built-in steps, and handrails for wear, looseness, and overall condition.

For inground pools, they highlight using and maintaining a safety float line to clearly separate shallow and deep areas, particularly for children and inexperienced swimmers. They address pets in pools, noting it’s not encouraged but common, and suggest checking water chemistry more often and using dog exit aids like pup planks.

They also stress the importance of working interior and exterior lighting for night swimming and entertaining, consider fencing around pool equipment, and inspecting spa covers to keep children out.
