Joining a Pool Club -- Pool clubs have long been a summer tradition for many families. Spending long afternoons poolside gives children the opportunity to get in some physical activity while maintaining contact with school friends. For parents, time at the pool may provide opportunities to catch up on some reading, visit with friends and spend time with the kids. There are many reasons why people opt to join a pool club rather than installing a pool of their own. While paying a pool membership may seem like a needless luxury to some, for others, it is a practical expenditure.

While the chances are remote that you will be hurt on the links, there are some freak things that can happen. Here is a look at how you can protect yourself.
