Swimming pool safety is a very important topic, unfortunately as some people have found out, it is often left till it is too late.. PLEASE do not become a statistic.
Child safety and swimming pool safety starts TODAY, Your children are our future.
Most accidental drowning's in backyard pools occurred;
whilst the child was being supervised,
when the child was supposed to be in another part of the house or,
when a gate was accidentally left open.
A Drowning can occur in as little as 2" (50mm) of water, and can occur many
hours after the submersion (i.e. after the person/toddler has been pulled from the water)
For ages under 14 years old drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death.
Drowning and near drowning's tend to occur when the children are in familiar
surrounds and are being supervised by a parent.
The drowning's occurred during short lapses in supervision e.g.. A 5-minute break to make a cup of coffee or visit the toilet.
Flotation devices do not protect children.
Nearly 70% of all children that suffered from submersion were not expected to be at, near or in the pool yet they were found in the water.
65% of the incidents happen in the pool owned by the child's family
Drowning's and near drowning's even occur in pools with perimeter fencing and gate alarms.
Safety Authorities recommend that a 2nd level of protection be implemented into the family swimming pool. Fences are one level and Pool alarms or safety watches are an ideal 2nd level.
Please review the statistics on the drowning's in backyard pools, download the safety audit, and spend 5 minutes rating your pool or spa, or your neighbors. Read the information on how to protect your toddler (or someone else's ), and ACT promptly. |
