- Kiddie Pools – these pools can range from little blowup pools to structures that are several feet deep.
- Dump the water out of your small kiddie pool after each use and keep the pool upside down if left outside. Kids can drown in even a small amount of water.
- Pools more than 24” deep must comply with Florida’s barrier law (click here to view)– safety fence, safety pool cover, window and door alarms, etc.

- Be sure to share with your kids what you have learned about being safe! Make sure they know that the pool is off limits without an adult.
