A swimming pool is a magnet for accidents and injuries and they need to be insured and maintained and comply with safety standards.
According to statistics, more than 3,200 people drown each year and most victims are children whose age is between one and four who were left unsupervised for only five minutes or less.
Before installing a pool, it is advised to contact your town or municipality because each town has a different definition of a pool. If the pool that you are planning to build meets the standard size and depth, then complying with the local safety standard is the next step. This usually includes building a protective fence around the pool and having safety equipments within reach.
