The Importance of Pool Barrier Layers

Pool safety and drowning prevention is a concern for homeowners with swimming pools. There’s no one single step a homeowner can take to be one-hundred percent safe – the issue of swimming pool safety should be approached with the idea of applying "layers" of prevention that all add up to peace of mind for pool owners.

The first layer of swimming pool safety is supervision. There is no substitute for knowing where children are at all times when in homes or neighborhoods with swimming pools. When children are in the home with adults, the next layer of swimming pool safety is door alarms and self closing, self latching door devices. DCS Pool Barriers in Phoenix, AZ, manufactures and installs a patented sliding glass door closer. Installing a device such as the DCS UltraGlide ensures that doors close automatically, so a child can never wander out an open door. Using door alarms offers the extra benefit of alerting adults when any door in the home is opened.

Outside of the home, the next layer of pool barrier safety is permanent, galvanized steel pool fencing. High quality fencing can be customized by the manufacturer so that it is not only durable and meets local pool barrier code, but will blend with the style of the home and property. This type of pool safety barrier is built to last, and can enhance property values.

If children don’t live in the home but are frequent visitors, the homeowner may opt for removable mesh fencing. This type of fencing may not meet local pool barrier code, but can be effective as a temporary solution for homeowners. This mesh fencing’s transparent look allows a clear view of the pool area at all times. When not needed, the fencing can be rolled up and stored out of sight.

Within pool fencing, the final layer of pool safety is a pool safety net. These nets are held securely in place over the surface of the pool with pulleys and clips, and are easily removed when it’s time to swim. This is a secure barrier in preventing infants and toddlers from getting into the water when used properly. Obviously, to be effective it does require that the homeowner always replace the net after swimming. A pool net is unobtrusive and preserves views.

Additional "layers’ of safety are education oriented. Teaching children water safety and swimming are valuable skills, as well as being sure that children follow house rules for pool safety. CPR certification is beneficial in case of emergency; although the hope is that a child never reaches the water unsupervised.

Contact a knowledgeable pool safety barrier company to discuss the best options for your property and family. By combining pool safety barriers with supervision and education, your family and friends can enjoy fun in the sun safely.
