If you own a swimming pool or are planning on having one installed at your home or business, no matter what size it is safety should be one of your prime concerns. Keep in mind that child can drown in even a small plastic pool that you can pick up at your local toy store. So drowning prevention should be included in the planning process, or if you have purchased a home that already has a pool, it should be a top priority.

The good news however, is that compared to past decades, so much more is available to pool owners to make them safer. Now of course in accordance with local community codes, you will be mandated to have a fence around your swimming pool. But today more at home on a business owners are seeing a fence as but the first stage in a ?multi-layered? pool safety system.

As they have been becoming more compact and easier to use, high-tech body heat and motion sensor systems have also become incredibly more affordable. In fact you can now buy an off-the-shelf cordless system that uses sensors that cost only about $20 each. It?s almost foolproof, and believes it or not you can even buy a system now have the capacity to automatically notify you by cell phone if someone enter your yard.

Then if for some reason a child should somehow get past your fence and your motion detector system, there is still one more layer of electronic protection available. That?s a simple to operate pool float that functions to detect waves created by anyone who should enter the pool water. Now something like this can really make a difference when a child is determined enough to get past everything else.

With the market now bristling with so much high-tech gadgetry to protect you your children and their friends from the hazards of an unattended pool, they are still lots of low-tech yet highly effective accessories worth taking a good look at. Now the most sensible and easy to use of all has got to be the above ground pool fold up letter. Fold it down when you?re ready to use the pool. Then when you?re through and ready to head inside, simply fold up.

Now while all this equipment can do an amazing job of being your eyes and ears in your yard when you?re not around, you?ll still need the same standby safety gear for when you are supervising at your pool. For instance a good supply of floats comes in real handy especially for little kids, and the new style floats that are made with foam that never needs to be inflated or well worth looking at.
