Pool Safety Facts You Need to Know
Barriers such as pool fencing should be used to help prevent young children from gaining access to the pool area without caregivers’ awareness. There is an 83% reduction in the risk of childhood drowning with a four-sided isolation pool fence, compared to three-sided property-line fencing. (Center For Disease Control)
- REDUCTION IN THE RISK OF CHILDHOOD DROWNING 83%
A child can drown in the time it takes to answer a phone.(U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission).
Studies estimate that this type of isolation fencing could prevent 50 percent to 90 percent of child drownings in residential pools. (Shands Safe Kids)
One-third of near drowning victims survive but suffer significant impairments or irreversible brain damage. (American Academy of Pediatrics).
For every child that drowns, four children are hospitalized for near drowning incidents (Center For Disease Control).

A
Adult supervision When it comes to keeping kids safe around water, the most important thing is adult supervision. Adults should have eye-to-eye contact with kids at all times.
B
Barriers While there is no substitute for adult supervision, fences and locking gates can go a long way in keeping kids out of the swimming pool.
C
Classes Not only should children take swimming lessons (although lessons in no way replace supervision), adults should be trained in CPR in case the unthinkable should happen.
