Water safety tips • Do not have any electrical appliances within five feet of a pool or hot tub. • Better yet, use battery operated, rather than electrical appliances near water. • Any electrical outlets within twenty feet of a pool or hot tub should be equipped with a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). • Never swim or use your outdoor hot tub during a thunderstorm. • Do not touch any elec- trical appliances until you are completely dry.
