A: ADVICE ON PREVENTION AND USE OF THE POOL AND NATURAL POND 
APPENDIX A: PREVENTION AND USE TIPS FOR THE POOL AND NATURAL POND
Protective devices are never a substitute for adult vigilance. None of the devices are 100% infallible.A child can drown in less than 3 minutes in 20 cm of water without making a sound:
- Never leave a young child alone near water (bathtub, pool, pond...)
- Never let a child access a pool or a pond alone, even for a few seconds, never take your eyes off them
- Exercise constant and active surveillance: a protective device never replaces your surveillance, especially since security devices only work as a protection when they are in a locked position (for barriers, covers and shelters), or in a normal operating state (for alarms)
- Systematically equip children when swimming around the pool with floats, adapted buoys, arm bands or floatation suits
- Teach children to swim from the age of 4, make them aware of the danger and forbid them to swim when you are not at their side
- Have some equipment near the pool that is immediately accessible: (poles, buoys, emergency phone number...)
- Training in life-saving techniques- Never leave toys or floating objects in the pool and remove them from the pool area to avoid the risk of falls
- Immediately reactivate the safety device after swimming to make the pool inaccessible to children
- When several adults are around the pool, designate a "lifeguard".
