An unprotected pool is over one-hundred times more dangerous to your child than a loaded gun (Freakanomics, 2005). Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children under five, beating out all others, including car accidents. Pediatricians, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Center for Disease Control all agree that an unprotected swimming pool is the greatest danger to a child’s life.

Pool Barrier of Oklahoma
Spring is almost here - time to think about the kids and playing outside and protecting them from the dangers of your swimming pool.
An unprotected pool is more dangerous to your child than a loaded gun*. And so the safety of your pool area cannot be an afterthought. If you wouldn’t buy a car without a seatbelt, you shouldn’t have a pool without a fence. It’s your responsibility to keep your family safe from your home’s greatest danger.

How can you help prevent pool drowning?
Here are some safety tips:
* Make sure an adult or designated "Water Watcher" is supervising whenever children are swimming, playing, or bathing in water. The adult must remember not
to engage in any distracting activities such as reading, talking on the telephone, or using the bathroom while attending to the children. If an adult must leave,
they should not do so until they have someone else to watch the water in their place. Unfortunately, 1 out of 10 children have drowned while under adult supervision.
* Never swim alone or in unsupervised places. Teach children to always swim with a buddy.
