Hattiesburg, Mississippi is located in Forrest County and has a population of approximately 45,989, many of which are residents who own swimming pools. If you are a homeowner with a pool in the City of Hattiesburg, pool safety must be a top priority for your family, since an unprotected pool poses a serious drowning risk. This is why we recommend installing a pool fence as one among the various layers of protection to keep your children and family safe.
In Mississippi, residential pools must be enclosed by a pool safety barrier that is at least 4 feet in height.
It must not have any openings that are 4 inches in diameter or larger or a vertical clearance larger than 4 inches between the bottom of the fence and the ground. Additionally, individual counties and cities may have additional requirements, so it’s important to check with your local government offices.
As a Hattiesburg homeowner, pool and water safety is extremely important and should be taught in your home. Promoting water safety awareness for your family is extremely important and can prevent drownings from occurring in your home. This includes ensuring your children know how to swim, parents and caretakers know how to perform CPR, and that you have added multiple layers of protection in your home.
Layers of protection should include a pool fence, pool and door alarms, water alarms, parental supervision, door locks, and water survival training.
The good news is, a Life Saver Pool Fence is the best and safest pool safety barrier available for homeowners to protect their families and allow them to pool safely and adhere to local pool fence laws.

Why Install A Life Saver Pool Fence?
The statistics regarding children and drownings are frightening. According to reports by the CDC Reports, accidental drownings kills more children ages 1-4 years than anything other cause except for birth defects. Additionally, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission states that approximately one in five people who die from drownings are children under the age of 14.
There are many common misconceptions regarding drowning which includes a false belief by parents that you will hear your child drowning if you were nearby. Drowning is nothing like it is in movies, and is typically silent with very little splashing, waving or screaming.
Additionally, many parents have reported leaving their child alone in a pool for two or more minutes, thinking nothing would happen in a short period of time. However, the reality is that drowning is often quick and parents may have less than a minute to react once a child starts to struggle in the pool.
Finally, three out of five parents said they didn’t worry as much about kids who have had swim lessons. The reality is nearly half of kids 10-17 who drown could swim.
