What You Need To Know About Pool Safety
Across the nation, millions of children are looking for relief from the intense heat. Naturally, swimming pools are very popular - intended for enjoyment, recreation, and relaxation. According to ABC Safety, however, drowning is the number one killer of children under the age of five. Each year, hundreds of children are killed and thousands more are injured in pool-related accidents. Safe Kids USA, a child safety advocacy group, reports that nearly 300 children under the age of five drown in swimming pools every year. The same group reports that another 2,700 submersion injuries also occur annually. There are a few things we as parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, or other caregivers can do to reduce the chance of such a tragic accident.
1. Adult Supervision
We, as parents, know that a child can get in trouble or hurt within a matter of seconds. Knowing that, we are sure to keep a vigilant eye on them as they play. As you can imagine, this becomes even more important when children are in and around swimming pools. It is not uncommon to be interrupted by a ringing phone, or distracted by another child or your pet, while enjoying an afternoon at the pool with your children. Just turning your attention from the pool for a brief moment is enough time for a child to drown.
2. Every Pool Needs A Proper Barrier
We just can’t be too cautious when there is even the smallest chance that a child may be near a pool. What some may not know is that there are many different types of safety equipment that can be used or installed to decrease the chance of a pool-related injury. One popular and effective option is to place a barrier around the entire pool. The best barriers are very sturdy, at least four feet tall, and completely encircle the body of water. Other steps can be taken to further secure the pool area including placing locks on gates and doors that lead to the area, installing alarms that will sound if the area is entered, and placing a heavy duty cover over the pool made specifically to keep objects that may fall in the pool area out of the water. The best covers will withstand the weight of two adults and one child.
3. Use Properly Secured Drain Covers
Though they are probably the last thing we tend to worry about when our children are in the pool, statistics show that drains pose a large threat for drowning and are a leading cause of submersion accidents. Properly installed and secured drain covers paired with a safety vacuum release system can prevent a serious injury or even death in a situation where a child becomes trapped by the drain suction. My hope is that just by taking these simple precautions, we can all have safe, relaxed and enjoyable summer by the pool.

They draw in part from her long residence in India with her husband, and are stories of wives of officers in the Indian Army. A Mother in India recounts the trials of an officers wife, who must send her child back to relatives in England.

The Dragon Pool $9.99 Hellboy, a bloodred, cloven-hoofed demon raised by the United States government, is a top field agent for the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense. He questions the unknown -- then beats it into submission. In the upper reaches of the Himalayas, Hellboy's ex-girlfriend, archaeologist Anastasia Bransfield, believes she has found the location of the legendary "Dragon King Pool" -- thought to be the ancient dwelling of an evil dragon who inflicted horrific devastation on the land and its people. Every year the villagers would sacrifice a child to placate the beast, until one day an unlikely hero fought the dragon and won, bringing peace and prosperity to the land. But Anastasia's triumph at her discovery is short-lived. Soon unearthly creatures are seen lurking around the dig site, someone is sabotaging the excavation with dire results, and the young daughter of one of the dig leaders goes missing. It looks like a job for Hellboy -- but his toughest challenge might be putting his past with Anastasia behind him.... |

Swimming Pool Alarm $300 Only Swimming Pool Alarm That Protects Wearer From Drowning In ANY Bodies Of Water Protects Children Or Pets Near Water w/ Fun, Colorful Wristbands Get Immediate Audio Alerts If Your Pet Or Child Touches Water Easy To Set-Up, No Installation Required Waterproof And Play Tolerant Tags Wireless Range Up To 200 Ft. From Base Battery Lasts 3-4 Years The Colorful Wristband Instantly Sounds An Alarm If It's Submerged Perfect for children, non-swimmers, or pets, the Swimming Pool Alarm is the only pool alarm that the user can wear on their wrist and that will give immediate alerts if the wearer touches water. Considering that children and pets can drown is as few as 2 inches of water, this device gives parents or family members the added level of protection beyond just old fashioned supervision. If the wristband touches water, a loud alarm will automatically sound up to 200 feet away. Parents can quickly respond to the emergency and save their child or family member from injury or death. The Swimming Pool Alarm Provides Continuous Protection 24/7 The Swimming Pool Alarm is the only pool alarm that offers continuous protection to the wearer. Most swimming pool alarms must be turned on and off by whomever cleans the pool or when swimmers use the pool. Without an alarm activated, a non-swimmer could still fall in and no one would know it. These alarms also do not monitor lakes, kiddie pools, your neighbor's pool, or inflatable pools. The Swimming Pool Alarm lets parents and family members tag a specific non-swimmer or pet that may fall into any body of water. Protect Your Children From Drowning In Unmonitored Bodies Of Water Even though you have an alarm on your pool, your neighbor may not. That is what sets The Swimming Pool Alarm apart from other swimming pool alarms. Other swimming pool alarms only work on an enclosed areas or specific bodies of water. Usually you cannot set-up your swimming pool alarm to monitor a nearby lake, or your neighbor's kiddy pool. With The Swimming Pool Alarm, you attach the alarm directly to your child's or non-swimmer's wrist or a pet's paw. That means if he or she becomes submerged in ANY body of water, whether it is a lake, a nearby unmonitored pool, or the bathtub, the alarm will go off and you will be notified. Alarm Can Protect Multiple Bodies Of Water Such As A Neighbor's Pool Or Nearby Lake You Can Keep The Alarm On Even When Someone Is Cleaning Or Using The Pool To Protect Non-Swimmers The Alarm Is Body-Worn And Can Be Put On Any Non-Swimmer Other Pool Alarms NO NO NO Wireless Pool Alarm YES YES YES The Swimming Pool Alarm is not a substitute for diligent supervision or an adequate barrier to restrict the access of children to water hazards. Features: The Swimming Pool Alarm works with ALL Fresh Water, natural (lake, river and pond) or man made (pool, hot tub and pond) No installation required Quick set-up and testing A loud alarm instantly sounds at the Base Station when |
