Safety for your Child

Drowning is the number one killer of children under five years of age. It is important to protect your child from this threat. Whether your child is just beginning to crawl or toddling around, it is time to take action and keep your child safe.

Usually, the drowning of the child occurs during a lapse in adult supervision. It only takes a few seconds for a child to fall into an unprotected pool. You may not even hear a splash or a scream. In the time it takes to call out the child's name, he could have already fallen into the pool. However, there are steps you can take to ensure that you will never have to experience that nightmare.

One easy step you can take in protecting your child is installing a Protect-a-Child Fence System. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a pool fence as the primary form of protection against drowning. They stated, "pool fencing is the only preventive strategy which has demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing drownings."
THE NATIONAL SPA AND POOL INSTITUTE (NSPI) AND CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) recommend a plan of multiple layers of protection. This is recommended such that if a child were to circumvent any one layer of protection, others are there to back it up.

Please be proactive in keeping your child safe by ordering a Protect-a-Child Fence System today.
