Have fun, keep safe in pool this summer
Pools-says-MingWEB
Backyard pools are a dream come true for some families, but dont allow the dream to turn into a nightmare. Make sure all the state and local safety requirements for in-ground and above-ground pools are met. Pictured is Jace Elrod, 7, enjoying time in a backyard pool.
Millions of Americans enjoy warm weather by swimming in backyard pools. Tragically, over 200 children drown in them each year. McMinnville Planning and Zoning director Nolan Ming would like to remind everyone safety should be a forethought and not an afterthought when it comes to pools.“As families move outdoors to enjoy nice weather, special precautions should be taken to ensure outdoor areas are safe from potential hazards,” said Ming.
