Every pool should have a pool alarm to prevent unwanted entry into the water.

In other words, you may wish to use both a pool door alarm, a pool gate alarm
and a Swimming Pool Safety Alarm to reduce the risk of a child or pet entering
the pool. Useful Articles on Swimming Pool Safety
Drowning Statistics
Following are just a few facts uncovered by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) in a comprehensive study of drowning and submersion incidents
involving children under 5 years old in Arizona, California, and Florida.
•
Seventy-five percent of the submersion victims studied by CPSC were between
1 and 3 years old; 65 percent of this group were boys. Toddlers, in particular,
often do something unexpected because their capabilities change daily.
•
At the time of the incidents, most victims were being supervised by one or
both parents. Forty-six percent of the victims were last seen in the house;
23 percent were last seen in the yard or on the porch or patio; and 31 percent
were in or around the pool before the accident. In all, 69 percent of the children
were not expected to be at or in the pool, yet they were found in the water.
•
Submersion incidents involving children usually happen in familiar surroundings.
Sixty-five percent of the incidents happened in a pool owned by the child's
family and 33 percent of the incidents happened in a pool owned by friends
or relatives.
•
Pool submersions involving children happen quickly. A child can drown in the
time it takes to answer a phone. Seventy-seven percent of the victims had been
missing from sight for 5 minutes or less.
•
Survival depends on rescuing the child quickly and restarting the breathing
process, even while the child is still in the water. Seconds count in preventing
death or brain damage.
•
Child drowning is a silent death. There's no splashing to alert anyone that
the child is in trouble.
Pool Safety Tips - The following barrier recommendations are the result of
identifying key parameters that typically contribute to child
drowning in backyard
pools. These recommendations are the minimum steps you can take to make your
home a safe place for your child.
Barriers are not childproof, but they provide layers of protection for a child
who strays from supervision. Barriers give parents additional time to locate
a child before the unexpected becomes a reality.
Barriers include a fence or wall, door
alarms for the house, and a power safety
cover over the pool. Barriers also may be used to protect children from accessing
hot tubs and spas.
