As the warm season rapidly approaches, many parents are beginning to think about how they can keep their children safe while they enjoy the warmer weather. One of the most popular activities for families during the summer is spending time at the pool. While pools can provide endless hours of fun, it’s important for parents to be aware of the dangers that come with them and how they can prevent it. This is where the pool fence comes into picture.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children aged 1-4 years old. That’s why it’s so important for parents to take precautions and learn about pool safety before letting their kids take a dip. Here are a few pool safety tips every parent should know:
Always assign an adult water watcher while children are in the pool. Designate an adult to be close enough to reach and touch a child under four years old whenever they are in the water.
Install a pool safety fence. A pool fence is a physical pool barrier keeping children out of the pool and can reduce the risk of child drowning up to 90%. Adult supervision is one of the essential layers of protection. However, only a pool fence can keep your children out. Our mesh fences cannot be climbed like metal fences. And, our solid core poles are virtually unbendable and indestructible.
Any type of water in your backyard can pose a danger to your family. This includes swimming pools, hot tubs, spas, ponds and natural bodies of water. Any source of open water should be protected by a pool safety fence.
Drownings in Horry County have reached a new record-breaking pace with 23 people losing their lives so far this year, surpassing the total for all of 2020. The number is higher than any other single year since tracking began back at least Mothers’ Day Weekend last month when 20 individuals met up to kiss goodbye before tragedy struck – some drowned while others died from accidental drowning cases such as hypothermia or heart failure caused by exhaustion after struggling against currents near shorelines.
Although our main focus is residential swimming pools, all bodies of water can be very dangerous.
Additionally, there have been 23 drownings in 2021 as of September.
Horry County has specific requirements when it comes to the barriers to be installed around the pool fence area. For example, with a mesh fence as a barrier, the bottom of the mesh fence shall not be more than 1 inch (25mm) above the deck or installed surface or grade. Additionally, it should not allow a passage of 4-inch (102 mm) sphere under any mesh panel.
