Secret Santa Gives a Pool Fence For Christmas

Christmas is all about being with family, sharing the joys that the season can bring and watching our kids anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus. Even adults get giddy waiting for the magic of Santa and viewing hm through a child's eyes. Well, who says you have to be a kid to enjoy Santa? Pool Guard of Arizona was recently contacted by a "Secret" Santa who wanted to give his daughter, son-in-law and 15 month old grandson the gift of child safety. The Secret Santa asked us to sneak into his daughter's backyard and measure for a pool fence. We were happy to be able to be a part of this great gift of pool safety.

Once we finalized all of the details we were able to access the backyard, install the pool fence and make our escape before anybody got home. We weren't able to see the smile and relief the parents must have felt knowing that their baby was now protected from the backyard pool, but we know they must have been thrilled. Their Secret Santa would not be disclosed until Christmas Day. It's great to imagine how the conversation went. We now believe that there really IS such a thing as Santa.

This Secret Santa gave a priceless gift to his family - the gift of knowing true peace of mind and knowing that their baby is safe around the swimming pool now that a pool fence has been installed.

Last Minute Holiday Gift

I recently received a call from the grandparents of a small child who realized at the last minute that their out of state grandson, who cannot swim, would be visiting for the holidays and that they have a swimming pool without protection. The big problem they were trying to solve was that it was Christmas Eve. Their son and family were on their way to Tampa and they couldn't get a pool fence company on the phone, let alone a company to install a fence at the last minute.

In a panic the homeowner asked her neighbor who installed her pool fence. The neighbor found her Pool Guard warranty paperwork on which I had written my cell phone number on and gave it to her. She called and explained her dilemma. We were about to close for the holidays, but I felt it wouldn't be right to not help a customer on Christmas Eve. I agreed to come directly to her with an installation truck to make sure the pool fence was installed on time. We finished installing the pool safety fence shortly after her grandson arrived. The customer was extremely happy and Pool Guard of Tampa Bay made a raving fan for life.
