Slippery Vinyl Stairs-Any Suggestions

[Glock30]

All,
I have 3 vinyl stairs into my I/G pool that are a bit slippery.
I will need to install and bond a railing next year but I was wondering if anyone knew of a product to put on them (completely submerged) to increase traction.

Regards,

I recently asked such a question here about my fiberglass pool. I guess I hadn't realized that the stair "texture" only extended to about an inch to the front of the step. The steps then are smooth and curve downward. If I step on the steps too far forward I can slip right down them. My feet are long so it takes a bit of notice to step in safely. I hold on to the railing and feel a bit like an old lady entering the pool so slowly, but I can't risk a slip.

I wonder if you could use those decals they use on the bottom of bathtubs? Not as nice as textured, but they have tons of styles/colors available now and you might get one that didn't offend.

Question,

Is your vinyl squeaky when you rub it? Or does it feel slippery, like teflon, or like oil?

Try cleaning them 1st with a Mr clean magic eraser to ensure it's not algae, suntan/body oils, etc.
