Safety should always be observed in any recreation area especially in the pool. Pool accidents are inevitable however; imposing safety measures in your pool can make pool safety possible.
According to the statistics of Edgar Snyder and Associates, drowning is the second leading cause of accidental injury-related death among children ages 1 to 14 years old. This is indeed alarming news. However, we can prevent it by installing safety pool equipment in our pool.
1. Pool Fence
Edgar Snyder and Associates did a study on different pool supplies that can prevent pool drowning and other related accidents. The result of the study has shown that installing pool fence around the pool area decreases the number of pool drowning injuries and death from 50 to 90 percent. Pool fence prevents kids from getting access in the pool area without adult supervision.
2. Pool Alarm
A pool alarm is also an effective device to prevent pool accidents. This pool device has a censor, which triggers the siren to create an alarming sound once a movement around the pool was detected. Pool alarm is connected to a device inside the house so parents will be informed when a kid is wandering around the pool area thus preventing any untoward incident from happening.
3. Safety Pool Cover
Keeping your pool covered with safety pool cover will also give children no access to the pool. Safety pool cover is made from high-end polyethylene material making it durable enough to withstand heavy-sized individual or thing.
Enjoying swimming with your family and friends is a privilege that all of us are entitled to. But always remember that our safety should not be sacrificed. Imposing safety precautions in the pool is an important thing to do to make swimming season fun and safe.
