How Pool Fences Can Prevent Accidents....

Even when a child knows how to swim!

Recently a five year old boy who knew how to swim fell into his backyard swimming pool. When he fell in he was wearing his clothing and shoes and he panicked and was not able to swim. Luckily, the little boy's father was nearby and pulled him out of the pool and administered mouth-to-mouth resucitation.

Pool Guard installed the pool fence around the pool on the very day the little boy was released from the hospital. I have always told customers to keep the pool fence in place because children can panic; however, I had never thought about clothing and shoes making it harder for a small child to swim to safety. The parents of this five year old have no intention of ever taking the pool fence down.

Pool Fence Safety Case Study

We recently installed a fence for a lady who lives in Boynton Beach, Florida. She has six grandchildren ranging in age from two years old to eight years old. She babysits for them often, but was tremendously worried about pool safety and that one of the children would accidentally fall into the swimming pool.

She did some research and found that the most cost effective and most efficient way to solve her problem was to have a removable pool safety fence installed. She got a few estimates and chose Pool Guard because of our full lifetime warranty and because she loved the safety features of the Pool Guard self-closing gate. She also felt Pool Guard had a lot of options when it came to colors and color combinations. She thanked Pool Guard for doing such a great job explaining the pool fence system at the time of the estimate, showing up for the installation when they said they would and for the excellent installation of the pool fence.
