Check Water Temperatures Before Entering the Pool

Set water temperatures specifically for your childs age and swim experience. Cartledge explains the dangers of water temperatures that are too hot or too cold.

“The temperature of the water depends on the age of the child and the activity they are performing. The best temperature for leisure swimming is in the high 80’s. When children get a bit older and are moving around more, they build up their own heat and the water can be cooler.”
