How to Keep Your Kids Safe in a Pool

The Mountain View Fire Department shares this video with residents.

Many homes and apartment complexes have pools in Mountain View, but many don't have lifeguards.

On their Facebook page the Mountain View Fire Department shared a video with tips for keeping kids safe. Here they are:

  • Teach your kids how to swim
  • Always watch them while in and around water
  • Properly fence the area
If you feel like taking your child to a supervised swim, consider a visit to Eagle Park Pool and Rengstorff Park Pool. Read more in our "where to cool off" guide!
