Save Lives with Swimming Pool Alarms by Aqua Palace
March 14/2020

In addition to adhering to local regulations pertaining to the security of your swimming pool, alarms are a great addition for protecting your entire family from potentially catastrophic accidents. Swimming pools are meant to be enjoyed by the entire family. Without an alarm, pools can be very dangerous, especially when you have small children. Instead of taking that risk, consider a few reasons why you should have a pool alarm.

Reason 1 - Closely Monitored Children Can Break Away
While we never want to envision a small child accidentally falling into a pool, even children who are closely monitored can break away, if only for a moment. Most parents do an admirable job of monitoring their children when they're around swimming pools, but distractions happen and disaster can strike in just moments. You could turn away only momentarily to answer your cell phone, call the dog, check the mail or some other brief task - and your child (usually out of curiosity) could accidentally slip into your pool. Look, it isn't only bad parents that need pool alarms. Even the best of parents and guardians can’t keep their children in direct sight every single second.

Reason 2 - Neighborhood Children Are at Risk
It's not just your children at risk - it's also your neighbor's children. For a myriad of reasons, they could easily wander onto your property even if it's completely fenced off. A child could accidentally throw a ball over your fence making it land in your swimming pool or decide they've never been swimming and today is their chance to learn (in your pool). If you have children or not, other children can and do cross fences and find their way around or through gates.  Drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for kids 14 and younger. Alarms can alert parents to emergencies before it’s too late. Don’t let your neighbor's children fall victim to your swimming pool.

Reason 3 - Gated Fences Are Simply Not Enough Protection
You would think that a gated fence would be sufficient protection to keep small children from getting close enough to accidentally fall into your swimming pool, but even the smallest of children often find their way over fences or around or through gates, especially when with other children. Fences are a great investment initially, but why not go one step further with an alarm system? These two types of swimming pool protection working together is one of the best ways to stop an emergency from happening.

Reason 4 - The End Goal is to Always Protect Your Children's Safety
Of all the reasons you could come up with or rationalize for having an alarm for your swimming pool, the most important thing to remember as a parent is that your primary goal is to protect your children's safety. That means protecting them in every conceivable situation, from every possible risk. Just one tragedy is one too many, unfortunately many kids do succumb to drowning in swimming pools every year. It's our responsibility to keep that from happening.

Swimming pool alarms don't just protect your kids, but also your neighbor's kids and they give you great peace of mind. Accidents happen, but you can short circuit the risk of accidental drowning by adding a pool alarm to your arsenal of security measures. Safety devices which we think are sufficient often come up woefully short. Please don't let a catastrophic event happen to you or your family. Make the investment in a pool alarm.
