Planning some fun at home this summer? Make sure your backyard is safe for all your favorite activities by using this summer safety checklist.

Pool safety
• Never leave children unattended
• Kids should never be alone in or near a pool (even if they know how to swim)
• Sign your kids up for swimming lessons

Learn emergency skills
• Young children should learn when to get help. Older children and adults should learn CPR and first aid
• Keep a first-aid kit, ring buoys and reaching poles nearby. Easy access to these items could be lifesaving

Install a safety fence
• Make sure your pool safety fence covers all pool sides and has self-closing gates. Also, install locks and alarms on doors with pool access.
• Create and post safety rules and enforce them.

Trampoline safety
• Add safety features
• Make sure your trampoline has padding and netting. An enclosed trampoline can help prevent falls
• Maintain your trampoline
• Inspect your trampoline regularly for missing pads, tears, exposed springs and other issues that could cause injury
• Enforce safety rules: Only one jumper at a time to reduce risk of injury

Playground safety
• Inspect your playground equipment regularly
• Create a safe landing
• Teach playground rules
• Supervise young children at play

Review your home liability insurance limits

Even if you follow all these tips, accidents happen. Keep your liability insurance coverage updated (and consider adding an umbrella liability policy). If you add a pool, trampoline or playground to your yard, meet with your insurance agent to see if you need to increase your home liability coverage. Stay safe and have fun this summer!

If you’ve ever thought that you may not have enough life insurance, you’re not alone. According to the 2024 Insurance Barometer Study Report, 22% of life insurance owners say they do not have enough coverage. Non-owners who say they need life insurance represent 30% of all respondents.

So, what stops us from getting the coverage we know we need? Cost, or more accurately, perceived cost. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of all respondents overestimated the cost of a basic term life insurance policy. It’s worth noting that 54% said their estimate was based on “gut instinct” or a “wild guess.”

The truth is the right life insurance for your needs might be more affordable than you think. Contact me today to see how we can affordably enhance your life insurance coverage with Forbes’ 2024 #1 ranked life insurance in the U.S. or get you set up with a policy that will help you rest easy at night.

If you’ve ever thought that you may not have enough life insurance, you’re not alone. According to the 2025 Insurance Barometer Study Report, 25 million Americans feel that they are underinsured, while 74 million Americans don’t have any life insurance at all.

So, what stops us from getting the coverage we know we need? Cost, or more accurately, perceived cost. Historically, nearly three-quarters of Americans overestimate the cost of a basic term life insurance policy. It’s worth noting that respondents, 35 and under, who said they were healthy overestimated the price of life insurance 7-10x the actual cost.

The truth is the right life insurance for your needs might be more affordable than you think. Learn more about life insurance and what options are available to you at countryfinancial.com/life.
