Safety

Teaching your baby how to swim at an early age can save their lives. Since pool water has a similar environment to your womb, they developed this instinctive skill to swim. But unfortunately, babies can lose this natural gift if parents don't allow them to relearn it.

When you are considering a backyard pool for your home, it is important to consider all of the benefits for the entire family. Both children, and this includes young children and teenagers, and adults have a lot at stake when it comes to deciding to have a swimming area right on the premises. After all, there is some work to be done with a pool, and then of course there are the hours of fun associated with a backyard pool. Here are some expected and perhaps surprising advantages of a family pool.

These days, children are accessing the internet in ever-increasing numbers. 80% of parents of children between ages 5 and 11 report that their child uses a computer or tablet. Kids and teens spend an estimated 44.5 hours weekly using digital media of some type. Nearly a quarter of kids and teens report a belief that they are addicted to video games. Clearly, there is a need for parents to work with their children to establish procedures and rules for safe internet usage in this age of increased screen time. By following these guidelines, parents can help their kids to navigate the internet safely.
