Seal Off the Pool Every family with young children needs to erect a fence around the pool area. In some states this is even dictated by law and those families who do not have baby safety gates completely surrounding their pool will be fined. They are usually made of a heavy. durable mesh attached to the ground with sporadic poles. They do not interfere with access as they have swinging gates for entrance and exit that can only be opened from the top, making them inaccessible to small children. This alone does not necessarily ensure baby safety , especially if there are older children in the house who can open the gates and may leave them open accidentally. For an extra precaution, you should also set up a swimming pool alarm system. In the past they were known for frequent false alarms because the alarm only detected surface disruption. Now you can get alarm systems that detect underwater waves, decreasing he chance of false alarms. Look also for those that detect relatively light objects.

They should be worn whenever young children are within any body of water.
