Houston, Texas has some of the most exciting outdoor adventures, award-winning parks, and trails. For residential pool owners, our time is often spent enjoying our backyard pools, swimming, having fun, and relaxing. At Life Saver Pool Fence of Harris/Ft Bend County, we stress the importance of a comprehensive pool safety plan to prevent drowning incidents among young children. This involves installing sturdy barriers like pool fences, using reliable pool alarms, and educating ourselves on basic safety measures to protect young children. These actions are essential to create a safe environment where children can play without risking their safety. Here are a few tips every pool owner should adopt:

Physical Barriers: Creating a Secure Perimeter

Automatic Cover

Consider investing in an automatic cover for your pool. This can fully cover the pool when it’s not in use, preventing accidental falls.

Pool Net

Keep a pool net available to remove floating debris or objects that could be hazardous to small children.

Backyard Pool Fence

Installing a pool safety fence around your backyard provides additional safety, keeping young children away from the pool area.

Locks and Alarms

Supply your doors and windows with high-quality locks and alarms to prevent curious children and pets from accessing the pool area unsupervised.

Close Doggy Doors

Ensure any doggy doors are sealed or removed to prevent children from using them to reach the pool area.

Child Safety Fence

A 4-foot-high pool safety fence with self-closing and self-latching gates is essential. It serves as a barrier, making the pool off-limits to young children unless supervised by an adult.

Pool Alarms – Providing an Extra Layer of Protection

Wearable Immersion Alarms

For children under five, consider using wearable alarms like the Safety Turtle. These activate if the child enters the water without supervision.

Pool Entry Alarms

Installing alarms that detect when someone enters the water can alert you to unsupervised pool use, including not only small children but also wild animals.

Pool Safety Education and Training

Enhance pool safety by educating both adults and children:

Swimming Skills for Kids

Ensure children over the age of one learn swim survival techniques to help them stay safe during water emergencies.

Adult Swim Skills

All adults should know how to swim to assist children quickly if necessary.

CPR Training

Adults, tweens and teenagers should also receive CPR training to respond effectively in emergencies.

Water Watcher Lanyards

Use these lanyards to designate a responsible adult for supervising young children during pool time, ensuring constant oversight.
