How do I plan for a pool party?

While a pool party is a great way to socialize with friends and family under the summer sun, don't neglect a few key rules when planning the party:

• Make sure that parents or caretakers of all invited guests are aware that the party is a pool party.
• If possible, have a lifeguard on duty. Contact us to get American Red Cross-trained lifeguards who will guard at your private parties. It is the host's responsibility to interview and hire individuals and provide appropriate rescue equipment.
• If not hiring a lifeguard, identify or appoint responsible adults to supervise the pool when it is being used. These individuals must understand and accept responsibility for monitoring the pool and should be trained in CPR, first aid and water safety.
• Establish rules for safety such as:
  • Prohibiting all dives into shallow water.
  • Walking - no running on the deck.
  • Not permitting glass in the pool area.
• If the swimming portion of the party goes for more than an hour, set rest breaks. This allows guests the opportunity to rest and warm up and provides a break for the lifeguard or water-watcher.
• Do not serve alcoholic beverages to guests who are or will be participating in water activities.
• Maintain cleanliness of water. Water should be chemically treated and tested regularly.
• Check with the homeowner's insurance company to determine the limits of coverage. Additional coverage for the event may be required.
