Pool liability mitigation
Those of you with outdoor pools at your properties - what are you doing to mitigate liability in the event of an accident?
I see a lot of awesome amenity packed outdoor hang out spaces with outdoor pools posted on the many STR related social media accounts that I follow, but I don't really ever see any pool fences or other safety features highlighted.
I know pools are a must have amenity to compete in many markets and I have to admit that I'm a bit hesitant to enter those markets due to the potential liability risk. Am I being overly precautious?

Make sure pool is listed on your insurance policy. Follow all safety requirements your Insurance Company plus city and county require.
This usually includes childproof access and alarms.
