Swimming pools pose a serious danger for younger children, elderly, and pets if there are not appropriate pool safety measures in place. Life Saver Pool Fence of Louisiana recommends that parents implement the following 7 layers of protection to help protect children from accidental pool drowning:
- Install pool alarms and door locks on any doors leading to the backyard
- Have a mesh safety fence installed that surrounds your entire pool
- Provide your children with early infant swim instruction
- Supervise children at all times and always have designated a water watcher on “duty”
- Make the pool the first place you check if children are missing
- Require that any and all caretakers know how to perform CPR
- Educate family members, caretakers, and babysitters on pool safety
Remember, not only is drowning silent, but it is the #1 accidental killer of children aged 1-4. Call (985) 397-1785 to request your FREE pool fence estimate today!
