- The pool is safe only when everyone follows the rules of conduct. Teenagers should set a good example so that younger children know how to behave.

- Be sure to inform adults if there is any problem. Adults are obliged to take care that you do not get injured and are completely safe during the rest.

- For jumping - its own depth. You can not jump into the water until adults are convinced that the depth is suitable and there are no opportunities to get injured.

- Don't run! Never run around the pool and inside the bowl. You can slip and get injured, as well as involuntarily injure others.
