Pool and Deck Floor Safety

Pool and deck floor safety is of utmost importance when it comes to ensuring the well-being of swimmers and guests at aquatic facilities. Slip and fall accidents can occur around pools, decks, and patios due to the presence of water that can make surfaces slippery and hazardous. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 10% of drowning deaths in the United States between 2005-2014 were due to slips and falls around the pool area.

One effective solution to combat the issue of slips and falls around aquatic areas is the use of slip-resistant aquatic flooring and pool deck matting. These specially designed surfaces provide an excellent slip-resistant solution for any pool operator looking to create a safer environment for their guests. The permeable, vinyl loop design of these mats allows water to drain quickly and efficiently, reducing the chance of puddling which can lead to slips and falls.

In fact, slip-resistant aquatic flooring and pool deck matting is now the leading surfacing used by pool operators throughout the country, with extensive use by USA Swimming. In addition to providing a slip-resistant surface for safer mobility, the soft textured surface of these mats also offers greater stability and comfort, making them an excellent choice for aquatic areas.

Overall, the importance of pool and deck floor safety cannot be overstated. By investing in slip-resistant aquatic flooring and pool deck matting, pool operators can create a safer environment for their guests, reducing the risk of slips and falls and ultimately helping to prevent accidents and injuries.
