POOL SAFETY TIPS FOR SUMMER

May 31st, 2011 at 10:55 pm star

One of the most dangerous places for children is the backyard swimming pool. Do not consider putting in a pool until they are at least six years or older, if possible. Make sure you practice pool safety year-round. Pool and spa submersions and drowning happen quickly, especially when they involve children. A child can drown in the time it takes to answer a telephone. Learn the simple steps you need to know to keep your children and family safe in and around pools and spas. One of the most effective means of safety is having constant adult supervision when children are in, or near the pool. It also means installing the first measure of safety in the form of a p ool alarm.

The pool alarm is an electronic monitoring system that automatically sounds an alarm when children or pets fall into your unsupervised pool. It's portable, self-contained, and lightweight. More than 900 children between 1 and 14 years old die each year in drowning accidents. In California, drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children between 1 and 4. A pool alarm is your first line of defense, and can be the difference between life and death.

Here are some other tips as set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics to help safe-guard your children from accidental drowning this summer.

· Never leave your children alone in or near the pool, even for a moment. An adult who knows CPR should actively supervise children at all times.

· Practice touch supervision with children younger than 5 years. This means that the adult is within an arm's length of the child at all times.

· You must put up a fence to separate your house from the pool. Most young children who drown in pools wander out of the house and fall into

the pool. Install a fence at least 4 feet high around all 4 sides of the pool. This fence will completely separate the pool from the house and play

area of the yard. Use gates that self-close and self-latch, with latches higher than your children's reach.

· Keep rescue equipment (such as a shepherd's hook or life preserver) and a telephone by the pool.

· Do not use air-filled “swimming aids” as a substitute for approved life vests.

· Remove all toys from the pool after use so children aren't tempted to reach for them.

· After the children are done swimming, secure the pool so they can't get back into it.

· A power safety cover that meets the standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) may add to the protection of your children but should not be used in place of the fence between your house and the pool. Even fencing around your pool and using a power safety cover will not prevent all drowning.

Remember, teaching your child how to swim DOES NOT mean your child is safe in water.
