Prevent Swimming Pool-Related Fatalities in Children A swimming pool can be a welcoming retreat on a hot day. Families often install pools in their yards as a recreational feature - one that primarily children can enjoy. However, each year about 250 children ages 1 to 4 die in drowning accidents that are swimming pool related, predominantly occurring in home pools, according to the Centers for Disease Control. This can make the decision to erect a pool or use an existing one more difficult. Swimming pools needn't be dangerous if the proper precautions are taken. Teaching a child to swim is not. protection alone against drowning. Here are other measures to take: • Never leave a child alone in or near the pool - even for a moment. • Considering waiting until a child is over the age of 5 before purchasing a pool. • Install a fence completely around the pool. The idea is to prevent entry to the pool, not just the yard, so a backyard fence that perimeters a property is not enough. The fence should be at least 4 feet high and any vertical slats should be no more than 4 inches wide so children cannot squeeze through them. There should be no foot- or handholds that can help a child to scale the fence. Fence gates should be self-closing and self-latching. The latch should be out of a child's reach and locked whenever possible. Keep large objects like benches or tables away from the fence so children cannot climb over the fence.

• Other products can ensure added safety for pool use. Door alarms which sound when a door to the backyard from the house is opened can be installed to alert adults that a child may potentially be in danger. Power safety pool covers are another good idea. These covers should meet the requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). These covers are motorized and should withstand the weight of two adults and a child to allow for a rescue should an individual fall on a pool cover. The standard also requires quick removal of water from the cover since young children can drown in just inches of water. (Canadians should check any regulations for pool covers and fencing within their respective province.) • For above-ground pools: remove any ladders leading from the ground to the pool when it is not in use • Keep rescue equipment, like a life preserver, shepherd's hook and a phone near the pool for emergency use. • Learn CPR and how to rescue a child if needed. Always stay within an arm's length of swimming children.

^ENERAL SWIMMING SAFETY R^ES Wtn addition to keeping the pool par JPied off from the res.t pf the backyard, follow these, tips .for added safety: 11. Never swim under the influence of alcohol or medications. Those in charge of watching swimming children should be sure they aren't under | the influence and are alert. ^. Never swim when thunder is hea^Dr lightning is 'present. Exit the pool immediately ^nd'get inside. 0 3. Don't allow children to swim weaWg inflatable "swimming aids" on their arms. These do not take the place of an approved life vest and can be dangerous because they provide unbalanced buoyancy. 4. Never dive into a shallow pool or unfamiliar body of water or allow children to do so. Head and neck injuries can occur. j ^ggol^ ^ , .^ao^r/ 5. Don't encourage running or monkey business around the pool's odgo, ^ 6. Don't allow too many people in the pool at one time. This can make observing the swimmers Another difficult.
