22、uarters of children who drown at neighborhood pools are missing from sight for less than five minutes. Drowning is also a silent death. There is no splashing to alert anyone that the child is in trouble.The key to preventing these tragedies is to have multiple levels of protection. The following pre
23、cautions can help keep children safer around swimming pools:Fence it in. Pools should be completely surrounded by fencing material at least 4 feet tall. Chain link works well. A slatted fence should have no gaps wider than 4 inches, so kids cant squeeze through. Gates should be self-closing and self
24、-latching. The latch should be out of a childs reach. Install alarms. If your house is one of the walls of your pool enclosure, doors leading to the pool area should be protected with alarms. In addition, add an underwater pool alarm that sounds when something hits the water. Make sure you can hear
25、the alarm inside the house. Cover it up. A motor-powered safety cover can provide a barrier over the water when the pool is not in use. The cover should withstand the weight of two adults and a child in case a rescue is needed. Choose an above-ground pool. Above-ground pools are much safer than in-g
26、round pools, because the height of the pool serves as a barrier. However, you should remove the steps or lock them behind a fence when the pool is not being used. Teach children to swim.
