Have an above-ground pool? Fence it. (Infographic)

What this infographic says

Removing the ladder may not be enough.

Fence all four sides, with a self-closing, self-latching gate.
When no adult is watching, lock or remove steps, ladders and anything a child could climb.
Outside straps on some pools 48 inches and taller can give a child a foothold. Check for recalls.
Above-ground pools were involved in 19% of pool and spa drowning deaths of children under 5 in 2021-2023.
