Home pools are becoming more common every day. They provide an excellent means of recreation for your entire family and friends a large part of
the year.
But beware: They are dangerous if not monitored properly.

You must be aware of the potentially hazardous properties of a pool. An accessible pool is more dangerous for your toddler than a loaded gun laying
out on your coffee table. In a child's hands eventually it will go off! But unlike the gun going off and where the bullet will strike, the outcome with a
toddler falling into a pool undetected is almost certain.

Just how serious is the problem? Drowning is the number one cause of death for children under five in Florida, Arizona, and California with a ranking
of number two for over a dozen other states. For every drowning there are eleven near drowning incidents, according to government statistics; many
of which result in totally disabling brain damage.

The majority of the parents involved were responsible people who thought it could never happen to their family. They were careful and had close
supervision over their children. Many were in good income brackets, educated, and could afford nice homes with pools in family oriented
communities. So we are literally talking about people who could live next door to you.

If drowning were a disease it truly would be referred to as an epidemic with all the public attention and awareness possible focused on an epidemic of
such proportion.

A study conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to find out how child drowning incidents occur indicates that SUPERVISION CAN
AND DOES FAIL.

The investigation by the Commission was directed at children under age five in Arizona, California, and Florida who had drown in home swimming
pools. The results might help you to better understand why drowning is still the number one killer for three states and stands at number two for the
nation:

Who was in charge of supervision at the time of drowning?

69 percent of the accidents occurred while one or both parents were responsible for supervision.
10 percent were adults other than the parents.
14 percent were sitters.
7 percent siblings
What was the location of the pool drowning?

65 percent were in a pool owned by the child's family.
22 percent at a relatives
11 percent happened at a neighbor's.
Drowning happens quickly and without warning. There is no cry for help.

77 percent of the children had been seen 5 minutes or less before being missed and subsequently discovered in the pool.

Where were they last seen?

46 percent WERE LAST SEEN IN THE HOUSE prior to being found in the pool. Of these, 15 percent were thought to be sleeping.
23 percent were last seen in the yard, porch or patio, not in the pool area. That's a total of 69 percent that were thought not to be in the pool area.
31 percent were last seen in the pool or pool area.
What activity was the person responsible for supervision involved in at the time of drowning?

39 percent were doing chores.
18 percent socializing.
9 percent were busy on the telephone.
The suddenness of this type of accident and the results it yields is devastating to anyone it touches. When you think pool, think hard core. Even if this
is not your personality, you must be an absolute dictator. Let your children know without any doubts, that is your way or none at all.

LAYERS OF PROTECTION

Supervision is always your primary layer of protection, but as the study shows, 69 percent of the drowning incidents occurred when parental
supervision failed and there were not other "backup layers" in use.

Access doors to the pool area with high locks are a secondary layer of protection.
Alarms on access doors is another layer of protection.
A pool safety barrier (fence) separating the pool from your home and all access doors and entrances is one more layer of protection.
Water survival training for a child when he is capable of crawling or walking to the pool.
CPR and your knowledge of rescue techniques are a final layer of protection should there be an accident.
The goal, with instituted layers of protection, is to come as close to a "fail safe" system of preventing drowning incidents as possible. Meaning that if
there is a momentary lapse of supervision for whatever reason, we have several backup systems in place.

All must fail before a drowning can take place. A door has been left unlocked or open, the alarm system or device for the door has been turned off, the
pool safety barrier has been left open, your child does enter the water, panics and does not attempt to utilize survival swim training, CPR is
administered too late to save the child.

THERE CAN BE NO COMPROMISE ON POOL SAFETY. YOU ARE DEALING, LITERALLY, WITH A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION.

Set down definite pool rules covering its use and more importantly, when it is not in use. We all have a tendency to give a little leeway on this or that
with our children, but not when it comes to the pool.

Any door leading to the pool area should be kept locked.  

Even if your home is equipped with an alarm system that will beep when perimeter doors are opened, install simple contact alarms on the more often
used doors as a further safeguard. Pool Guard makes an excellent alarm designed strictly for access doors to the pool area. This type of alarm must
have the button pushed whenever the door is opened and has a delay feature to keep if from sounding off for seven seconds for entering from the
inside. It is particularly useful if you have older children who open doors to the pool area. Sliding glass doors should be locked at the top in addition to
other locks. In two thirds of the drowning cases studied where children were thought to be in the home, sliding glass doors were either left open or
opened by the toddler.

If you own a pool this is a must! Install a protective safety barrier or pool fence that will eliminate access to the pool for young children and pets.

Floating pool alarm devices with remote alarms sounding in the home can alert you to a child falling into the pool. The pool surface, however, must be
disturbed enough by the fall so as to set off the alarm. Since these alarms do work off a disturbance to the surface of the pool; your child could quietly
walk down the steps, go under, drown, and never disturb the alarm or set it off!!! They are quite inexpensive (around $100) and better than nothing at
all since they do detect some accidental falls if adjusted and placed properly. Alarm batteries and function should be checked often to increase the
safety margin and effectiveness of this type of device. If this is your choice of protection; be sure the model you purchase has a remote alarm that will
sound in the house and a local alarm that will also alert someone near the pool area.

Another type of alarm on the market is designed to detect motion in the pool area with an infrared beam. These alarms are independent of your
burglar alarm systems and are designed to be easily mounted outside without doing electrical work and have a remote alarm in the home that can be
plugged into any electrical outlet. Optek is one manufacturer of this type of alarm.

Have your toddler trained for pool survival when he is able to crawl or walk to your pool.   

This is introductory training to the water that is not intended to actually teach him to swim, but more to provide the toddler with the necessary skills to
help survive an accidental fall into the pool. He should be taught to negotiate to a wall or steps and know how to get out. His final lesson might include
his being knocked unexpectedly into the pool fully clothed. Do not be alarmed, the child's reaction is being monitored to help determine if the lessons
have been effective by using this simulated "panic situation". This type of survival training can usually be very effective after just a week of daily
lessons. From our own experience with both methods and other parents we have spoken with, this method is considerably less traumatic than other
methods.

Another method of water survival training is to teach the child to roll over and float on his back. It also is effective and has been taught successfully
for many years. Be certain that he is also taught how to get to the side of the pool and hang on or get out in addition to learning to roll over and float.

You can determine which method will best suit your needs and the situation.

All types of survival swim instruction must be reintroduced to the toddler after a period of not being in the pool; as in over the winter months.

Whichever way you go, do not be lulled into thinking that your child can have open access to the pool area. Remember, this is just one layer of
protection.

Every layer of protection possible must be in force at all times or the system is compromised.

If you have read or been told that your child cannot be taught water survival until age three because he is incapable of learning at an earlier age, might
get ear infections, that it "leads to a false sense of security for the parent", or that such training is ineffective "because 55 percent of toddlers who
drown had received survival swim training," please think for yourself!

Your child can be taught survival swimming and will retain it during water active months with practice.   

If you do not have your child in the water over the winter months, particularly a child under age 3 years, he will require a refresher to "remember"
what was learned the summer before. This will usually take only a few days to accomplish and then you can proceed on to have him learn additional
techniques or start actual swimming lessons.

Yes, a large percentage of children who have drown did have survival swim training, what the statistics cannot show you is how many have survived a
fall into the pool because of this training (many adults who drown could also swim). As to the "false sense of security", most parents will not even
leave a toddler alone in a bathtub much less knowingly let their child near the pool unsupervised. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's study
revealed that 75 percent of the victims of drowning were among 12 and 35 months of age. For these children, 3 years old will never come.

Take the time to learn CPR and accident procedures. If not your own child, you may be able to save someone else's. Many local hospitals have
programs for this type of training.

Do not leave a toddler or young children in the pool or pool area without adult supervision. Older children are not always as sensitive to the dangers of
drowning when it applies to others.

A mother told us that she was scolding an older brother (6 years old), as she snatched her coughing 18 months old out of the pool where he had
walked off the steps while she was away for a moment. His answer was innocent "But I could see his eyes were open and he wasn't crying." Hope
the point has been made.

Never go into the house to answer the telephone and leave a child unattended in the pool area. Numerous drowning incidents are associated with the
answering of a telephone in the house while the pool was in use by children.

A telephone installed at the pool area or the presence of a remote unit, on the other hand, could prove to be an invaluable aid in the event of an
accident.

Do not leave objects in the pool that could attract your child. Children who would not normally go near a pool because of fear may not even think about
the water if they are in pursuit of a favorite toy in the pool.

"Staging platforms", such as tables and chairs, should not be kept near the pool fence.

Allowing the pool area to be used as a play area is as bad as letting young children play in a busy street or with poisonous chemicals. Isolating the
pool area to be used for swimming only is the most essential concept of drowning prevention.

If you miss your child always check the pool first, even if access is thought to be restricted, then look elsewhere.

In a drowning accident seconds can make the difference between death, recovery, or just survival.

KEEP THEM SAFE AND PLAY BY THE RULES

SWIMMING POOL FENCING
Removable safety fencing has proven, over the past thirty years, to be the most practical and effective barrier against pool drowning short of putting
up a permanent rail fence.

The concept is simple. Isolate the pool from your home and eliminate all access to the water by a toddler. For the pool to be truly isolated and the
barriers serve effectively, there must not be a reason to open the pool fence other than to use or service the pool itself. That means not having to open
the pool fence to go out a screen enclosure door or into your backyard. These areas should be accessible to you without opening the swimming pool
fence. The more times a fence is opened, for a reason other than to use the pool, the greater the possibility that it will be left open for whatever reason.

Pool fence is constructed of see through, polyester mesh mounted on aluminum or fiberglass support poles. The fence is placed into aluminum or
plastic sleeves installed into your deck surface. The bottom border of the fence material should be flush to your deck so as to prevent a child from
pushing under. The basic principal that keeps pool fence in place is bilateral tension and the fence should be checked periodically to insure that you
have benefit of its full function.

A standard pool fence is removable in approximately twelve foot sections. Each section can easily be rolled up and weighs only eleven pounds. The
average one hundred foot fence can be removed in less than fifteen minutes and be put back up in approximately the same amount of time. Most
fences, however, are never taken down until children in the home are old enough not to require this safe guard any longer.

Having a party with young children present? Think twice about removing the fence. Family gatherings and social affairs contribute to distraction and
drowning accidents involving young children. So that the pool fence does not have to be removed for day to day use of the pool, a "gate" section is
provided at the steps or another convenient location. A pool fence "gate" is formed by two connecting sections that can be opened by an adult. Extra
sleeves are placed into the deck at this point to act as pole holders when the "gate" is open.

SELF-CLOSING, SELF-LOCKING GATES: Self-closing, self-latching gates are  automatic and provide better protection if there are folks in the house that
can't remember to close a gate behind them. Because it does not have to be physically closed or locked by the user it is a more practical option when
there are older children in the home who have unsupervised access to the swimming pool . A self-closing gate and its lock are mechanical devices
located outside and subject to corrosion, wear from use, misalignment, and mechanical failure. Extra care must be taken to insure that the gate is
functioning properly. Be sure that your gate is always installed to swing out or away from the pool or water.  

How high should your pool fence be? Pool fence ranges from 3 1/2 feet to 5 feet high. For an average toddler we recommend you look at the 4 foot
height. A child capable of climbing a 4 foot high fence will most likely also be able to go over 5 feet. It's just a longer fall down the other side. A child
with this kind of capability should already be well into a swimming program.

We talk to parents moving into a home with a pool for the first time who are nervous about a six year old around the pool accidentally falling in. Since a
six year old can go over any height fence and the fence is being installed to basically keep them from just falling into the pool by accident, we would
recommend a shorter height like 3 1/2 feet as long as this is the only child in the household.

How far apart should the fence support poles be? Support poles provide both tension and strength for the fence, so the less distance apart the better.
We normally recommend 30 inches as a standard if you are making any turns with the fence at all. For straight runs, like across a patio, 36 inch pole
spacing should be adequate.

What mesh material is best? The majority of pool fence manufacturers today use polyester mesh with vinyl coating. It is a continuous basket weave
construction and is the strongest method today for manufacturing pool fence. The smooth vinyl coatings are mildew resistant and allow easy cleaning
of the finished product, unlike the grainy finishes of older style dipped interlocking nylon products that had a tendency to trap both growths and dirt.
The newer polyester meshes are also much more resistant to punctures and are virtually impossible for even an adult to rip.

Should the mesh be bordered? To be a finished product your pool fence mesh should also be bordered on all four sides with vinyl border. Not only
does this provide a finished look to your fence but also prevents unraveling of the mesh itself. Check the border material to insure that it has visible
reinforcing built into the vinyl to provide additional strength to the fence and eliminate sagging over time.

Remember, the fence should block off all access from the home to the pool. Half way measures here are like playing "Russian Roulette". The only
time the fence should be opened is when you are using the pool. Children learn quickly to operate door locks and open doors that have not been
locked. Your last layer of protection to the pool should be your pool fence.

Do not forget your "fail safe" minimum of five layers of protection against drowning.

Adult supervision, locked doors, perimeter door alarms, the pool fence, and swimming lessons. All five must fail before your child can drown in your
pool.
