Following these important safety tips will help insure safe, exciting, and fun times for all:

• NEVER run onto or along the diving board.

• NEVER dive into an above ground pool
• NO  back dives.

• ALWAYS have a adult supervise children while diving and swimming
• NEVER dive alone!!!

Most of these tips sound like nothing more than common sense, but taking the time to discuss these rules with your kids and their friends can keep everyone happy and safe this swimming season.
