Swimming pool safety

[jf261398]

If possible, do not put a swimming pool in your yard until your children are older than 5 years. If you already have a pool, protect your children from drowning by doing the following:
Never leave your children alone in or near the pool, even for a moment.
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.
A power safety cover that meets the standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) adds 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 drownings.
Keep rescue equipment (such as a shepherd's hook or life preserver) and a telephone by the pool.
Do not let your child use air-filled "swimming aids" because they are not a substitute for approved life vests and can be dangerous.
Anyone watching young children around a pool should learn CPR and be able to rescue a child if needed. Stay within an arm's length of your child.
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.
Remember, teaching your child how to swim DOES NOT mean your child is safe in water.

I don't see why people just don't keep an eye on their kids... what happened to "do what you feel like" and "your liberty ends at the tip of the next guys nose" and other slogans expressing free will until it affects another's. I mean... we cant have rounded edges on all of life. Let's see people stop letting the TV raise their children, then maybe there would be a GREATER generation.

I think it's a good idea for anyone with a pool to take a CPR course. Even the best swimmers can drown and accidents can happen where one may need to save one's life using CPR. I also believe that certain cities and counties throughout the country require a fence around pools which I think is a great law to protect the lives of children.
