4 Reasons Never to Swim With a Pool Cover Partially On

You can get trapped under the cover If you slide off the edge or dive in, the cover can wrap around you. It is nearly impossible to fight your way out from underneath, even with a lightweight cover.

Adults and children have drowned this way Getting trapped under a pool cover is not a rare freak accident. Adults have died, and children are at even greater risk.

Anchors and straps are tripping hazards The cover’s hardware can cause you to trip and hit your head. That injury alone can be dangerous in the water.

Wait until the cover is fully removed Do not swim until the cover is completely off. This is not a corner to cut.
