Tipton Pool contractors in Knoxville, Tennessee offer some Labor Day pool party fun with your family tips. As many pool owners know, Labor Day signals the “end of summer” and that means you may want one more pool party before the kids go back to school and the pool is prepared for closing.
Everyone in your family loves a swimming pool — from the youngest to the oldest to your pets, even! How can you make certain that your pool party will be fun for children no matter their age or swim skill level?
Labor Day pool party fun with your family
- Make certain you have the necessary safety equipment you need poolside at all times. Get your children accustomed to wearing life vests every time they are in the pool as a way to keep them safe.
- If you are new to pool ownership and your children haven’t seen or been in a pool before, plan to take your time to get them accustomed to being in the pool. Ease them into it and understand that no matter how much fun everyone else is having, your young child may balk at getting in. That’s all right. They will get there.
- If your child doesn’t want to get into the family pool, fill a kiddie pool and keep that poolside so they can be next to you even if they aren’t in the “big” pool.
- Take your child to swim lessons. This is a great way to get them used to the water and to assure they will be safe in the pool. Remember, even if your child can swim you can NEVER leave them alone in the pool.
- Make pool time, fun time. If your child is already cranky and tired, putting them into the pool won’t necessarily make them feel happier or better about being in the pool.
Let your child choose his or her own safety vest, new swim suit and a favorite new pool toy as a way to get them excited about being in the water with you. Give it time and you’ll soon have a swimmer on your hands!
