Pool Safety and Swim Lessons at Glen Laurel

Summer is officially here and many who live in the community of Glen Laurel head to the Glen Laurel Racquet and Swim Club for a way to keep cool. The Swim Club can be a great way for families to keep cool and have fun in the summer, but pool safety is something that must not be forgotten. It is estimated that 300 children under the age of five drown in swimming pools and spas each year. With a few preventative measures you can keep your family safe.

Consider enrolling your kids in swim lessons. Swim lessons are offered at the Glen Laurel Racquet and Swim Club with the next session beginning as early as July 5th. If you are interested in enrolling your child in swim lessons contact Brian Kampper at (919) 550-3225 between the hours of 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday - Friday. 

Other safety reminders while at the pool include:

●     Ensure that one adult is assigned at all times to keep an eye on the kids while they are swimming or near the water’s edge.

●     Learn and practice water safety skills such as CPR and knowing how to swim.

If you have your own pool at your home in Glen Laurel:

●     Install a fence that completely surrounds the pool and has self-closing, self-latching gates.

●     Make sure that you have the appropriate safety equipment such as alarms, sensors, and barriers.
