Homeowners will be glad to know that the swimming pool industry has made great strides in improving the safety of swimming pools. Non-slip surfaces reduce the likelihood of slips and falls. Fences and alarms add another layer of protection. (Most cities, in fact, have specific requirements for fencing around a swimming pool.) Swimming lessons have played a major role in improving the safety of swimming pools. In fact, specialized swimming lessons are now recommended for infants that are less than six months old. Here is a fascinating video that shows how a fully-clothed, unsupervised toddler falls into a swimming pool and instinctively saves himself from drowning.

Brought to you by Infant Swimming Resources, ISR is one of many such organizations that promotes early “drown-proofing” of babies and children. In recent years, the industry has shifted its attention to “entrapment prevention.”  In certain cases, especially on older pool designs, a child or adult could become entrapped by the suction on a drain.  Recent improvements in pool equipment and design have greatly reduced the likelihood of this ever happening.

New pools are expected to have at least two of these three options:

• Dual Drains -

New pools should have a second drain opening at least 3 feet away from the primary drain opening. This greatly reduces the suction on either of the two drains, reducing the chance of entrapment.

• Safety Vacuum Release System –

When a drain becomes blocked, the SVRS provides a rapid vacuum release. This quickly frees anyone whose body or limb is trapped on the drain. This is a good potential safety upgrade for an older pool that only has one drain. Contact us or any local pool service company if you want to add this upgrade to your pool.



 

• Anti-Entrapment Drain Covers –

These specially designed drain covers distribute the suction into a “safe zone,” making it nearly impossible for anyone to become entrapped.  Standard on all new pools, these can also be retrofitted to most older swimming pools.  Important — you should never let anyone enter a swimming pool that has a loose or missing drain cover. If you see a problem with your drain cover, you should close the pool and notify your builder or local pool service company right away.






Other Safety Features You Should Have!!

1. Fencing:

Isolate the swimming pool with a minimum four-foot-high enclosure.

2. Safety Covers:

An impenetrable covering that completely covers the pool, spa, or hot tub will prevent access to the water when there is not supervision.

3. Alarms:

Alarms are available for doors, fences, in pools, and as a clip-on for children. Alarms detect unwanted entrances to your pool, spa, or hot tub.

4. Rope and Float Line:

Place these across the pool to alert swimmers to the separation of the deep end from the shallow end of the pool.

5. Rescue Equipment:

Equipment such as a life ring and shepherd’s hook should be placed near the pool in an easily accessible spot.

6. Posted Emergency Information:

Post all CPR, other emergency information, and warning signs, as well as the emergency telephone number – 911 – near the pool, spa, or hot tub.

7. Outside Telephone:

Be sure to have a telephone in case you need to summon help.

Layers of Protection As members of the APSP (Association of Pool and Spa Professionals), we support the concept of “layers of protection.” This means the pool, spa, or hot tub is equipped with several devices to delay unsupervised access, or to warn of a child’s presence. Following are some options identified by the APSP for protecting children and preventing accidents:

Did you know?

Your swimming pool water collects minerals over time, causing “Parts-per-million” to exceed recommended levels. When this happens, many things start to go wrong with your pool, such as the inability to balance chemicals, buildup on pool tile, and water that makes your skin itchy. To best deal with this problem, we recommend a drain and fill every 2-4 years. Does this sound like your pool?

Call us today to schedule your pool and/or spa draining.

This is also a great opportunity to have your pool surface acid washed and/or your pool tile professionally cleaned. We specialize in removing calcium build-up from your Pool Tile, Pebble Tec & Rock Features.
