Tips for safe swimming in the pool or beach
Westchester County Lifeguard Supervisor offers safety tips for swimming in the beach or pool.
After the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recalls a pool of about 5 million vehicles above ground, after it concluded that it was leading to the deaths of children.
According to a release from the agency, the pool covered in the July 21 recall was sold at several retailers, including Walmart, Target, Costco and Amazon.
In the release, CPSC said it believes nine children under the age of 3 owned after accessing the pool between 2007 and 2022 through compression straps that wrap around the outside of the product.
“This is an example of a textbook of dangerous design flaws, clearly visible and obviously dangerous,” said a joint statement between CPSC Chairs Peter A. Feldman and the Douglas Diak Committee. “Long-standing inaction has allowed these tragedys to occur.”
Bestway, Intex and Polygroup previously said in a joint statement that the company has been “actively involved in continuously reviewing and updating and updating product safety standards over the years,” adding that the pool’s updated safety standards were finalised in May 2025.
