Pool Alarms

Our neighbors are putting in a pool. Pools are a great way to cool off on a hot summer day but lets face the truth they are also a danger.

I know that they are going to love having a pool, especially the kids which is the danger. All it takes is an instant for a kid to fall into a pool and parents aren't always aware of the fact.

This is why I suggested that they get a pool alarm before the pool is set up to stop a horrible accident before it happens.

There are a bunch of pool alarms that are available, though here is one that I have found to be at the top of the list as being one of the best to have.

Safety Turtle

It is a band that is worn by children and pets and can be used for pools, lakes, creeks and such, to stop accidents from turning tragic.

If you have a pool or know someone who does, help keep them and their families safe by suggesting they get a pool alarm.

That is a great idea for anyone that lives or vacations around any type of water whether it be a pond, pool or whatever.

The gate portion of the system is great but I do wonder however about the bracelet for the kids to wear. I wonder how hard it is for a child to get the bracelet off and it would kind of stink for them to have to wear them all of the time. It's agreat idea though and even if it would be irritating having to wear one most of the time it would be worth their safety.

I'll be honest with everyone. I didn't even know something like this was available!!! I don't have children so I am seriously outdated on all of the saftey equipment that has been invented.

I learned about these pool safety alarms while watching a show called Super Nanny. There was a family with unruley children which would run around the pool and play with out parental supervision. So JoJo ( the super nanny) got the safety system as well as a fence and gate installed to put a stop to all of this.

When I realized friends were getting a pool I though of that show and instantly informed them about the pool alarm to keep everyone safe.

The pool hasn't been set up yet, but I do know they already have the alarm system ready to go after they read about it.

What a great idea for anyone with children around, even if the pool owner has no children, neighboring kids could jump in also. A pool alarm would be a real good thing for anyone who has or gets a pool.

Well I also agree that pool alarms are a good idea, though I would start off with fencing in the pool and adding a lock to the gate. That is the first safety measure that should be done. I know this is what I would do if I had a swimming pool, then I would buy the pool alarm to make sure everyone was as safe as possible.
