When it comes to summer activities swimming is on the top of our list. Because of this, it is extremely important to us that children understand the basics of water safety and are able to follow the basic water safety rules. With a little pre-planning and education, it is entirely possible to keep kids (and their friends) safe and enjoying the pool, season after season!
We found this short (12 min), engaging and age-appropriate YouTube video that teaches kids how to be “Water Safety Smart.” Who can say no to Disney’s comedy duo, Timon and Pumbaa?? Watch it with the whole family!
Here’s some ideas as well as our new favorite site swimply.com if you’re looking to rent a private pool for your next event or to beat the summer heat. One of our team members just hosted a birthday party at a swimply.com pool and had a memorable time with her family.
Private pool alternatives:
Wherever you end up to stay cool this summer, we hope you have an enjoyable one!

We ? giving pre-loved items new homes! Our team has sold and bought couches, refrigerators, dining table sets, beds, washer/dryer sets, a gigantic dog crate, and even a car on online marketplaces!
A few words of caution as you go on the hunt…
1) If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. We’ve run into scammers that wanted upfront payment and that’s a big red flag.
2) Safety is of utmost importance! SafeTradeSpots.com is a website you can go to find designated locations at law enforcement offices where buyers and sellers can meet in public under surveillance to complete in-person transactions. There’s no charge for the service.
