This pool safety fence w/ a self closing key lockable safety gate needed to be installed before the home owner was able to adopt a child. #childsafety#watersafety#adoption #.ncpoolsafetyfence.com
🛑 DO NOT USE DOGGY DOORS! 🛑
💧Doggy doors give children and pets unsupervised access to the outdoors & have been implicated in dozens of toddler and pet drownings!
If you own a pool, install a pool fence.💯

❌Don't tempt your kids!❌
🦄Make sure to remove all toys and floats from the pool area when wrapping up your day. Leaving them near the water could draw your children back towards the water when no one is watching!
📣The @AmerAcadPeds stresses that swim safety lessons should be made a priority to parents BEFORE THEIR CHILD’S 1ST BIRTHDAY.
💦Many deaths can happen in a matter of seconds, with or without an adult nearby.
🚨Because drowning happens quickly and silently it is important that an adult supervisor is not involved in any other distracting activity (such as reading, playing cards, talking on the phone, or mowing the lawn) while supervising children in a pool.
⚠️ Active Supervision is your first line of defense! Active supervision means staying within arms reach of the child, not being distracted and never assuming someone else is watching.
When adult supervision fails backup layers of protection are the 🔑!
