Door Alarms: Be sure they are in working order and loud enough to be heard by all.
Pool Fences: Fences should be at least 4 feet high, equipped with self-closing and self-latching gates. Pool fences work only if they are used correctly. Drowning may happen when the gate is left open, or the pool fence is taken down for a party, maintenance, or a storm (hurricane, etc.), and it’s not put back into its proper place promptly. Teach all members of the family to always close the gate behind them, then recheck.
Pool Alarms: There are devices available at local pool supply stores that remain in the pool.
Swimming Lessons: It is important to remember that swimming lessons for a child are just one of the “Barriers of Protection.” Swimming lessons are never a guarantee of total water safety. Nothing takes the place of supervision!
