Pool Safety

While the Pool Guard pool safety fence is removable, we recommend pool fencing should never be removed when children are present. No pool safety product is ever a substitute for adult supervision, always supervise your swimming pool when children are present. The AAP notes that inadequate supervision is frequently a contributing factor to the drowning of young children. Adequate supervision includes close, constant supervision and, in the case of new swimmers, touch supervision, meaning an adult is within touch reach at all times in case a child’s head goes underwater. Any adult assigned to watch children around the pool should be familiar with the signs of drowning distress, it is not the flailing and yelling you see on TV and in the movies. Drowning is a silent event, and it is important to know the signs and how to properly respond. Finally, strong supervision is critical for the safety of children with ASD and other disabilities.

Here at Pool Guard, we take safety seriously and we are proud to be able to help you make your pool safe for children!
