Drowning...
The greatest danger to your child is in your own
backyard!
Drowning is the
leading cause of death among children under five
years of age in the state of California. It is
more dangerous to have a pool in your backyard than
to have a loaded gun in your house! As a
matter of fact, there are nearly 100 times more
deaths from pools than from guns at this age.
As soon as your child can crawl, it is important to
prevent them from gaining access to your pool.
But I always
supervise my children! Nearly all the children
who drowned in their home swimming pool were
supposed to be under the supervision of an adult at
the time of the drowning. There was usually
just a brief lapse in the supervision that allowed
the child to slip away unnoticed. That lapse
was enough for a family to lose their precious child
forever.
But it was just for
a minute! Studies show that most children were
out of sight for less than 5 minutes. A simple
distraction such as a knock at the door, a phone
call, or putting in that last load of laundry is all
it takes to lose your child forever.
Another very
unsettling fact, is that many drownings happened
while BOTH parents were home supervising the child.

Aquaguard Pool Fencing System can provide dependable
safety to help prevent this kind of tragedy from
happening to your family!
