Around your pool, you probably have stairs, ramps, or walkways that are slippery when wet. Anti-Slip Tape is a great product for these areas because it is easy to apply, resistant to water, and works effectively
Changing the slippery surface
As a last resort, you can also change the entire surface of the slippery pool deck.

The main factor you have to consider is that once the new surface is installed, make sure you don’t have to apply an anti-slip product still to stop it from being slippery.
