Most people associate thoughts about pools and spas with entertainment, recreation and relaxation. However, too often we hear about the preventable accidents or incidents in and around pools and spas. While the number of incidents are very low (in relation to overall time spent around and in pools and spas), any injury or loss of life is one too many.

At the SPSA, we value and promote pool safety. We agree with the concept of creating “Layers of Protection.” Most cities and counties have specific minimum safety standards, but not all are the same. Combining one or more layers of protection is the best way to prevent drowning or entrapment incidents.
