This article covers the importance of Pool Safety Supervision. 

Following the spate of summer drownings, Wendy Atkinson, mother to 2-year-old Brodie has posted a video online showing her son scaling their pool fence and opening the gate in just 21 seconds. Royal Life Saving Australia has just recently issued an urgent warning to swimmers to be safer around such bodies of water, and to homeowners to tighten up pool security and supervision of children.

Pool Safety Watch the Children

The pool is a place for fun. Teach your kids how to swim (and learn yourself if you don’t know how).  Kids wander around a lot and can find their way into the pool even if they’re out of sight for only a minute.  But most importantly, when children are around the pool, or in it, always watch them under pool safety supervision.

Check the Fences and Gates

Maintaining your pool fence and gates is a mandatory task for all swimming pool and spa owners in Queensland. Ensuring your pool fence or spa fence meets the legislative requirements is essential to reduce the number of avoidable backyard drownings in Queensland homes. Pool and spa owners in Queensland must maintain the fence and ensure gates self latch at all times. Make sure the gate/s self-close from all points in their arc and don’t become wedged open.
