Fence and gate
A fence round the pool with a self-closing gate is the most effective measure for small children. Clear glass options keep the view.
Safety cover
When the pool is not in use, a safety cover that carries weight and locks cuts off access to the water. Automatic slatted covers close at the press of a button.
In the pool
- Anti-slip liner on steps and shallow areas.
- Anti-entrapment suction covers, and two floor drains instead of one.
- Depth markings on the coping.
- Handrails on ladders.
Habits
One named adult watching the children whenever they are near the water, without a phone. Swimming lessons early. No head-first diving in a home pool. A ring buoy and a phone near the pool.
