Pool safety is a hot topic all year long - not just in the summer. There are many ways to
learn how to stay safe around and in a pool - don't run on the deck, don't leave children unattended,
don't mess with the lifeguards...
But one area of pool safety that doesn't get a lot of attention is pool chemical safety
and that's what we're here to talk about.
If you're watching this video, you're probably responsible for maintaining your pool's chemical levels.
Whether you're the manager in a gym or aquatic club, a lifeguard at a community pool,
or a homeowner with a backyard pool, you have a very important job.
We all know that chemicals are usually needed to keep a swimming pool healthy and enjoyable
by maintaining water quality, and to protect the health and safety for swimmers by killing germs.
There are many threats to a healthy pool - from letting algae and bacteria take its course
to little kids and whatever natural-things they may do.
If chemicals are not properly added, we may end up with this instead of this.
It may sound easy to keep a pool healthy, but there are a lot of things you need to
know to keep yourself and your swimmers safe.
You may already have had training in proper chemical handling, or you may be new to pool ownership.
Either way, we'll go over what the chemicals are and their potential hazards,
how to handle and store them, and what you should do if something goes wrong.
There are many factors that determine how much and what kind of chemicals you'll use
for your specific pool. And you should have received those instructions from your manager
or installer.
We're here to show you how to stay safe while using them.
So if you're ready, let's dive in!
