Safety First

Drownings are accidents that can be avoided. Parents are usually home when they occur.

Communicate with your spouse. Don’t assume the other is supervising, be sure! Many parents of drowning children say they only took their eyes off of their children for a brief moment. Answering the phone or door, checking the oven, in this short time, a drowning could occur. A Baby Gate® pool fence helps with these transitional times. Children are always on-the-go and are wanting to explore. As soon as they can crawl they can disappear and be in harms way.

Be Informed

Baby Gate® Pool Fence would like everyone to be informed. We would encourage you to take the time and read the information below and from our 5 4 related sites.

Practice what you learn. Guidelines for water safety are to be adhered to.
