After Sadie celebrated her 3rd birthday this year, I thought differently about the family's annual trips to Florida. At that age, it was easy for her to venture alone into the swimming pool at my parents' summer house.
It was important that I procure a pool safety product because we exposed our daughter to swimming early on, being two people who frequent beaches. Add to this that my mother's Victorian pool tiles looked inviting.
The Pool Protector pool alarm was a recommendation of my neighboring pal. Movement in the water activates its electronic sensor into producing a quite audible, throbbing siren, in case a child or pet falls into the pool.
The alarm sound can be heard from two different sources, the unit itself and a remote speaker that can be installed as far as 200 feet from the device. Since a child would require pool safety the most while unsupervised, I love this feature.
I was thankful to spot Sadie in her room with her mom one Saturday that the alarm sound suddenly filled the bedroom where my wife and I slept. Who could have been out for a swim when we were getting ready to drive out for brunch?
I ran downstairs to see what triggered the Pool Protector pool alarm. It turned out to be the son of my very neighbor who recommended this pool safety product.
The boy was 6 and knew how to swim but barely. I got to him just in time to pull him out of the water before he started drowning. His parents were conversing with my mother in the garden and did not notice him sneaking away from them.
I did what any parent would do. Swimming pool safety is never the first thing that comes to mind when we think about keeping our kids protected, but I suspect this oversight has cost many lives.
