Safety First
While enjoying pool workouts in your Doughboy pool, safety should always be a top priority. We encourage all pool owners to read our safety manual and follow key guidelines to ensure a safe swimming environment.
It’s important to swim and play responsibly, avoiding activities like diving or jumping that are not suited for above ground pools. Always have an adult supervise any pool activities when children are involved. Educate first-time users about pool safety rules and ensure they understand the importance of cautious behavior. Encourage respectful and careful play, avoiding roughhousing or climbing on pool structures. By adhering to these safety practices, you can ensure a fun and secure experience for everyone.
