What Types of Pool Signs Should Be Used in Community Pools?

The type of pool safety signs you need will depend on the specific features of your pool and the risks associated with it. However, some general types of pool safety signs that are often recommended include:

• No diving signs: These signs should be posted at any areas of the pool where diving is prohibited, such as shallow ends or near steps.
• No running signs: These signs should be posted near the pool to remind swimmers to avoid running, which can cause slips and falls.
• No glass signs: These signs should be posted near the pool to remind swimmers not to bring glass containers into the area, as they can break and cause injuries.
• No smoking signs: These signs should be posted near the pool to remind swimmers not to smoke in the pool area.
• Adult supervision required signs: These signs should be posted near the pool to remind parents and guardians that they are responsible for supervising their children at all times.
• Swim at your own risk signs: These signs should be posted near the pool to remind swimmers that they are swimming at their own risk and that the pool owner is not liable for any injuries that may occur.

In addition to these general types of signs, you may also want to consider posting signs that specifically address the risks associated with your pool, such as:

• No pets allowed signs: If you do not allow pets in your pool, you should post a sign to remind swimmers of this rule.
• Pool Capacity signs: To inform swimmers of number of allowed persons in the pool at one time.
• Pool Open/Closed signs: Inform guests of pool hours.

By posting these signs, you can help to keep your swimmers safe and prevent accidents.
