Many towns and cities demand that pools be surrounded by a fence with self-latching gates. In roughly 70% of child drownings, children were not expected to be in the pool at the time of their death. Not only for their own children but for children who may wander into their yards, homeowners must install dependable safety measures to minimize the danger of swimming pool accidents.
