SAFETY
In addition to having Pool Guard swimming pool fencing
installed, here are some rules to help prevent accidents and drowning. These
rules will ensure everyone has a safe, fun time swimming and provide a worry
free pool environment.
1. Always have adult
supervision.
2. Keep a portable telephone
near the pool.
3. At least one adult family
member should know CPR.
4. Never swim when there is
lightning or thunder.
5. Do not allow running on
the edge of the pool.
6. Keep large floating toys
out of the pool - they block the view.
7. Keep deck areas free of
clutter.
8. Teach all children to swim
as early as possible.
9. Never allow young children
to dive into a pool.
10. Install pool lights for
night vision.
11. Have a clear view of the
pool from inside your home.
12. Remove automatic vacuums
from the pool before swimming.
13. Keep pool chemicals
locked away.
14. Never allow extension
cords near a pool.
15. Make sure your
babysitters can swim - have them show you.
16. Always install a Pool
Guard swimming safety fence. :)
17. Verify your swimming pool
fencing is installed properly and the pool gates are closed.
18. Keep your pool fencing in
place - always? Only remove pool fencing for maintence.
IS IT TIME FOR A
One question that parents
have asked over and over again throughout the years is when is the best time to
have a pool fence installed. For families who live in a home with an existing
swimming pool and now have a small baby and want to protect their pool, the
answer is when the baby is between the ages of 6 to 9 months old.
This is the age that is
recommended by the National Safety Council, pediatricians and most drowning
prevention committees. The reason for this being the
perfect age is because although the baby may not yet be walking, a small child
can't verbally communicate.
They can't tell their parents
that "this week I'm crawling, but next week I'm going to be walking".
By having a pool fence installed BEFORE a baby is mobile, parents are
guaranteeing the safety of their children around the swimming pool. Pool fences
can never be installed too soon.
Many customers find that they have a comfort level if the
pool fence is installed while their baby is still in the infant stage. Also,
many young families whose baby is not yet mobile have friends who visit with
slightly older babies and toddlers. The pool safety fence being installed and
in place gives them a sense of protection.
For families who are moving into a new home with a swimming
pool the best time to have a pool fence installed is the day you close on the
home. The pool is a novelty to the children and moving day is always hectic.
People are in and out and doors are left open.
Everyone is distracted and
too many times nobody is watching the little ones. If a pool fence is installed
before a family actually moves into the home there is no chance of an accident.
Even if a small child turns 6-9 months of age during the
winter or a family moves into a new home with a pool during the winter months,
it's time for the swimming pool fence...
The pool is outside 365 days
a year - a swimming pool safety fence should be there to protect against
drowning as well.
Accidents know no seasons.
Safety is
Everyone’s Concern Chances, you won’t hear a cry or a splash.
NEVER take
your eyes off a child when they are playing near water. Not even for a second.
