Drowning is Preventable
Drowning takes the lives of more California toddlers than any other kind of accident. Children who manage to survive a “near drowning” often suffer permanent brain damage from lack of oxygen.
Children one to four years old are at greatest risk. They are very active and curious, and they learn new skills every day. One day they suddenly learn how to open the sliding door and wander from the house to the pool and spa area. A child may fall in and drown silently without calling out for help. The whole event can happen in just a minute or two.
Most of these drownings take place at the homes of parents, relatives or neighbors. Fortunately, you can prevent toddler drowning by combining these two methods:
- Supervision of children around water is not “normal” supervision, where we check on a child every couple of minutes.
- When around water, children must be kept in direct sight at all times.
- Children in water or next to water can drown immediately and silently, so there is no room for error.
- Never leave a young child alone in or around a pool, spa or wading pool, even for a few seconds.
- When young children are in or around the pool or spa, assign a “Water Watcher” to keep them in DIRECT SIGHT. Relieve the watcher every 20 minutes.
- Get into the habit of keeping doors and gates leading to water closed, even when using the pool or spa. Never prop doors or gates open.
- Be especially alert at the start and end of “planned” pool time for toddlers.
- If a child is missing, ALWAYS look first in the pool or spa. Seconds count!
- Keep rescue equipment (safety ring, long pole) and a phone next to the pool or spa.
Improve the appeal of your pool
10/10 times we install a fence the customer expresses that it doesn’t look nearly as bad as they were thinking. Keep in mind the fence is see-through. In our professional opinion our pool fence adds a nice modern look to any backyard. Also it looks like you care more about the safety of your child!
Easy to maintain
Once your pool fence is installed it is much easier than your swimming pool maintenance. The Golden State pool fence can be removed which makes for easy cleaning. Pool fences should be cleaned about twice a year by easily rinsing with water. If you have a broom that you use for your pool, feel free to lightly scrub the fence to unsettle dust, then simply rinse away with water. Please do not use a pressure washer on any brand of fence, the PVC that coats the mesh will fail.
Your city may require it
The laws are constantly changing. Here are 2023 codes for pool safety:
