Do I Really Need a Pool Fence?

You build a beautiful pool in your back yard.  Your doors to the yard are self-closing/self-latching and you have locks on them.  You keep your eyes on your children all of the time.  Why do you need a pool fence?  It ruins the view.

This is a very common question.  Parents and Grandparents and others ask this question a lot.

The answer is simple:  Pool Fences help save lives!

POOL FENCE – ONE LAYER OF PROTECTION:  Pool Safety is all about Layers

1.       Pool Fence w/self-closing/self-latching gate

3.      Swimming Lessons for the children

4.      Always Adult Supervision when any one is in the pool

5.      5.  CPR Classes for the adults and older children

As a Parent, Grandparent, Aunt, Uncle or Friend…..the tragedy of losing a child in your pool is life changing.  A Pool Fence is a VERY important part of the layers of protection….If the Adult Supervision fails, the door lock fails, the training fails…..the pool fence will give you more time to find that little one, stop an older one and keep critters out!
