This year, at least two Florida children drowned days after their family moved into a new home. The parents had not yet installed a fence and other safety precau- tions, and the toddlers found their way outside without their parents knowing. That's why I urge parents to install layers of protection to prevent accidental drown- ings and read these important Pool Safety Guide tips: 1.Install high door/window locks Before you move in to a home with a swimming pool, install locks on doors and windows that are high and out of the reach of young children. Put them on every door and window that leads to the pool area. Some drownings happen because a par-Some drownings happen because a par-Some drownings happen because a par ent didn't know their toddler had figured out the door knob or lock and the simply walked out on their own. Don't forget slid- ing glass doors that small children can slide open. 2. Add door and window alarms Home buyers who have never owned a pool may not realize children are drawn to water, even when it is cold outside. Fami- lies can self-install simple contact alarms for doors and windows that lead to the pool, or contract with a security company. In every case, it's important to keep the alarms activated. If an older child disables the alarm, a younger sibling could easily slip outside without anyone knowing. Also consider installing an alarm on any gates that lead to the pool. Adults can use a bypass switch that will keep kids out when there is no one around to supervise. 3. Install a pool safety fence Perhaps one of the most reassuring steps is installing a pool fence. Fences should be at least 5' tall and have a self- closing, self-latching gate. Mesh pool safe- ty fences, like Life Saver Pool Fence, have proven to be an effective layer of protec- tion with a transparent and aesthetically pleasing look that is easy to remove and reinstall by the homeowner. Make sure the fence surrounds the pool, so there are no doors or windows leading directly from the home into the pool area. 4. Purchase a pool alarm There are several types of alarms that will provide another layer of protection against drowning. Surface pool alarms will trigger an alarm inside the home when the water's surface is broken. However, a small child could quietly walk down the pool steps and slip under water without making a big splash or setting off the alarm, so they cannot be used alone. Subsurface pool alarms detect distur-Subsurface pool alarms detect distur-Subsurface pool alarms detect distur bances beneath the surface. They cost more but are less prone to false triggers than floating alarms and more reliable than surface alarms. 5. Consider child immersion alarms When you first move into a home, con- sider fitting your child with a wearable im- mersion alarm, like the Safety Turtle, which triggers an alarm inside the house if the sensor gets wet.

Check drain covers Avoid tragedy by drain entrapment and make sure there are no broken or dam- aged drain covers in your pool or spa. The suction from a drain can pull in jewellery, hair, and bathing suits, which may cause drowning if the wearer of these items can- not break free. Once all those steps are taken, your family can move into your new home with peace of mind. However, pool safety must become part of your daily life to keep chil- dren safe.
