Swimming Pool Safety

If you own a home swimming pool or take your children to a neighborhood pool or community center, it is important to understand what is involved in creating a safe swimming environment to prevent accidents and injuries. Children are often the victims of swimming pool accidents, due to their inexperience and poor supervision.

The US Consumer and Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have conducted numerous studies and have found that 75% of all victims of swimming pool accidents were children under the age of three.

These tragedies do not need to occur. There are many things that parents can do to help keep their children safe, especially if the family owns their own pool. The main safety protection that parents should install for their pool is a fence or a wall around the pool.

Build a wall or a fence around the pool to keep children out when parents are not able to supervise their children. Even if your children can swim well, it does not mean that they will not at sometime be involved in an accident. Another safety measure to take is to install an alarm system to alert parents if someone or a child has somehow managed to get into the pool or pool house. This can help prevent an accident and save a child’s life.
