As per the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning stands as the primary cause of death among children aged one to four. In order to help parents fully understand the importance of pool and water safety,\u00a0Houston Pool Safety Fence\u00a0prepared the following pool safety tips: Distractions make for tragedies \u2013\u00a0Parents are cautioned all the time about water safety, but drownings still occur. Always be aware and be in the present moment with your children. Never leave your child alone; if you have to leave, take your child with you. [Source:\u00a0NSC.org] \u00a0 Make sure everyone follows the Pool Rules\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Teach your kids and all caregivers these pool rules: Do not run around the pool. No pushing or dunking in the pool. Never dive from the side of the pool or a diving board unless a pool is at least 9 feet deep. If the depth isn\u2019t posted, don\u2019t dive! Get out of the pool right away in bad weather, especially if there\u2019s lightning. Additionally: Do not let kids use mermaid tails or fins in the pool. They can make it hard to swim and lead to drowning. Floaties do not prevent drowning. Kids who wear them still need the same supervision as those without them. POOL SAFETY DO&#8217;S ASSIGN A WATER WATCHER LEARN CPR USE ALL LAYERS OF PROTECTION INSTALL A MESH POOL FENCE DONT&#8217;S FORGET SUNSCREEN LEAVE CHILDREN UNSUPERVISED USE FLOATIES ON KIDS OWN A POOL WITHOUT PROTECTING IT Put in a pool fence \u2013\u00a0install a mesh pool fence, a pool barrier that will isolate young children and pets from your pool area.\u00a0Make sure it completely surrounds your pool. If you install a pool gate, use a self-closing, self-latching gate so that the gate always swings shut 100% of the time. [Source: Life Saver Pool Fence] Never leave furniture near the fence that would enable a child to climb over the fence.\u00a0[Source:\u00a0NYC.gov] Remove toys from the pool area when the pool is not in use. Toys can attract young children into the pool. Completely remove the pool cover before using the pool. If a child is missing, check the pool first. [Source:\u00a0NYC.gov] Do not rely on the use of water wings, swim rings, inflatable toys or other items designed for water recreation to replace adult supervision. [Source:\u00a0Redcross.org] Wear a Life Jacket \u2013\u00a0Have young children or inexperienced swimmers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets alone. [Source:\u00a0Redcross.org] Keep basic lifesaving equipment (a pole, rope and personal flotation devices) by the pool and know how to use them.\u00a0[Source:\u00a0NYC.gov] Know the signs of drowning \u2013\u00a0The phrase \u201cdry drowning\u201d refers to a series of delayed symptoms that a person may experience after a water-related incident or submersion injury. While the phrase describes real complications that may require medical treatment, it is important to note that dry drowning is not a recognized medical condition or scientific term. What is Dry Drowning? Drowning is the process of experiencing respiratory impairment (essentially trouble breathing) due to water in the airway and lungs.2 \u201cDry drowning,\u201d on the other hand, refers to complications that can arise after a person takes in water through their nose and\/or mouth, but not into their lungs, causing a spasm that closes the airway. Dry drowning usually happens soon after exiting the water. Research has shown that \u201cdry drowning\u201d has been observed during autopsy in 10% to 15% of drowning cases where people died after experiencing laryngospasm, which is when water touches the upper airways and triggers spasms leading to cardiac arrest.3 [Source: Parents Magazine Autopsy Findings: Drowning and Submersion Deaths. Encyclopedia of Forensic and Legal Medicine (Second Edition). 2016.] Know any amount of water can be a risk \u2013\u00a0A child can drown in less than 2 inches of water.5 Even the teensiest wading pool requires constant supervision and should be drained and placed well out of reach when it\u2019s not being used. And as tempting as those large, inflatable pools look in the store, they often hold thousands of gallons of water that can\u2019t easily be drained. In fact, they have become a particular threat: A study published in Pediatrics found they pose a significant risk, especially among children under 5.6 If you do have one, surround it with a fence, cover it when not in use, and remove the steps or ladder once swim time is over. [Source:\u00a0Parents.com] Make sure your pool is up to code \u2013\u00a0A pool inspector who is credentialed by the National Swimming Pool Foundation or the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals should be able to tell you if the pool itself or the surrounding deck material is cracked, damaged, or dangerous. You also can try finding a code official by contacting your local building or health department. [Source:\u00a0Realtor.com] Pool drain safety Keep children away from pool drains and ensure that they are properly covered to prevent entrapment. [Source: CPSC.gov] Ensure all pools and spas have VGB-compliant drain covers [Source: poolsafely.gov] New, safer drains are designed to be curved so that they can never be fully blocked by a body part. Parents should always confirm with pool and spa owners that they are using anti-entrapment drain covers before allowing children to get in the water. [Source: poolsafely.gov] Do not let children play or swim near drains or suction outlets, especially in spas and shallow pools, and never enter a pool or spa that has a loose, broken or missing drain cover.\u00a0Children\u2019s hair, limbs, jewelry or bathing suits can get stuck in a drain or suction opening. When using a spa, be sure to locate the emergency vacuum shutoff before getting in the water. Ensure all pools and spas have compliant drain covers. Virginia Graeme Baker, after whom the Pool and Spa Safety Act is named, died from drowning due to a suction entrapment from a faulty drain cover. All public pools and spas must have drain grates or covers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5053","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5053"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6161,"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5053\/revisions\/6161"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mindmatric.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
