00:00 Introduction
02:00 Teach children to swim; infants swim, as young as 4 months old. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children 1 to 4 years old.
03:15 children with formal swim training are 88% less likely to become a drowning statistic
07:10 Check your local code enforcement; there is an exception being allowed by many authorities, allowing an exception to barriers around pools if the pool owner owns an ASTM-approved cover. There is no way to ensure safety covers are in place without adequate adult supervision around the pool. This should not be allowed because it dramatically increases drowning risks. Petition your local authorities to require adequate barriers to prevent access to areas around private pools, even if the pool owner owns an ASTM-approved pool cover.
11:30 Introduce Dave Woods of All Safe Pool Fence, Nets, and Safety Covers.
