Pool Safety Devices � How To Keep Children Safe Year Round

by Richard_Chandler

Throughout the year and especially in the summer time, people in
all parts of the country hear about a recurring tragedy that
could have been avoided: the drowning of a young child in a
swimming pool. In warmer parts of the country, where swimming
pools are almost a necessity, it seems to be a daily occurrence
to hear on the news that yet another child has drowned.

Drowning usually occurs quickly and is rarely heard by anyone.
Drowning can happen in seconds and usually take place when the
child is left unsupervised or during a brief lapse in
supervision. In roughly two minutes the child will lose
consciousness, and after four to six minutes irreversible brain
damage occurs. Nearly all who require cardiopulmonary
resuscitation (CPR) either die or are left with a severe brain
injury.

In many cases, the drowning occurs in the pool of a neighbor who
does not even have children. They are usually under the false
impression that, because they do not have children, they do not
need to keep their pool �child proof�. However, as a pool owner,
it is your moral, and in some states legal, obligation to take
the necessary precautions to insure that children who do not know
any better are kept safe from drowning in your swimming pool.

Commonly Used Safety Precautions Are Not Always Effective

Many homeowners believe that simply putting a lock on their
backyard gate and a fence around their pool is enough of a safety
precaution. This is not true. While they do help prevent 50% or
more of drowning-related deaths or accidents, a faulty lock or a
child who knows to climb a fence can easily make that precaution
essentially useless.

Additionally, some owners have begun using safety nets or safety
pool covers. While these do provide yet another barrier of
protection against a child drowning, there are several drawbacks
to using them. For instance, if the pool owner forgets to put the
cover in place, or decides �I can leave it off this one time�,
the pool is left exposed. To many children, nets and covers will
look inviting to walk on. If they are not attached properly or
break, they can weigh the child down, making rescue difficult
and, in some cases, cause a child who otherwise knows how to swim
to drown.

Swimming Pool Alarms Offer An Additional Level Of Safety

Homeowners who truly wish to make their swimming pools safe
should install a pool safety alarm. Pool alarms offer a final
level of protection against accidental drowning by giving you and
your neighbors audible notification if a child falls into the
pool, insuring that the child can be rescued before brain damage
or death occur.

The Aquaguard Pool Alarm System offers a high level of
protection and notification for the user while remaining
aesthetically pleasing to your pool�s d�cor. Designed with a
numbered keypad to prevent unauthorized disarming, the Aquaguard
Pool Alarm notifies you when a child falls into your pool through
its dual integrated sirens and remote unit with alarm sound that
is louder than that of a car alarm. This is the only pool alarm
with a siren built into the remote. The Aquaguard Pool Alarm and
remote unit have integrated LED indicators that let you know when
the alarm is armed and alert you when batteries are low. Easy to
use and affordable, this pool alarm is the best choice for
virtually any pool or spa.

Safety Precautions Are Important All Year

Regardless of where you live or the shape and size of your pool,
it is your responsibility as a pool owner to take all necessary
precautions to avoid accidental drowning year round. Children can
fall in a pool any time of year. By simply investing the time and
money that is needed for the necessary safety precautions, you
can avoid tragedies and insure yours and your neighbor�s peace of
mind.
