Pool Fencing, For your Child’s Safety

 

Pool fencing is a subject that deserves mention, as there are too many accidents, some leading to death, by drowning, and I would very much like to contribute, even in a small way, to reduce these incidents.

 

One way is through awareness, that then leads through to action.

 

If you have a pool, no matter how small it may be, you need a fence, simple as that.

 

I am aware that some people have pools installed in homes, prior to special laws coming into affect, so they may be exempt from fence inspections and the liked, depending on the area you live.

 

No matter how you look at it, law or no law, with or without inspections, a good quality fence will save your child’s life.

 

Some people think that a very shallow ‘baby poo’ will be safe, but a child can drown in a pool with only one centimetre of water.

 

Hence, there are some basic rules to follow.

 

·        Ensure you always have a good quality fence around your pool.

·        Ensure you always supervise your children in the pool.  Never leave them alone, even for a second.

               If the phone rings, either leave it, or take your child out the pool first!

 

·        It is also important to ensure that you protect your children from sun damage, wither with good quality sunscreen or high SPF (Sun protection factor clothing.

I am in no way, endorsing the company mentioned, but felt the ideas they present explain the point well.
