I read WATE's article [1] twice. I do not see the pool safety tips.

I do see these tips:

Meanwhile two simple tips you should always remember are to lather up on a lot of sunscreen and keep hydrated with water.

As well as a possibly bogus tip from a long-time lifeguard:

He says the key is to join a private pool where lifeguards are always on hand.

I would sincerely hope that all public pools in East Tennessee are as safe as any private pool.

It is important to use lots of sunscreen when in the sun and drink lots of water. I do think there could definitely be some tips very relevant to pool safety.

Don't run around the pool. Don't dive into shallow water. Don't go in the deep end unless you are a good swimmer. Don't act crazy on the diving boards. Don't jump on people in the pool. And, for us older folks, don't get drunk and swim.

What would be your pool tips?
