Water Safety Steps That Can Save A Life
At Flamingo Pools we stress the importance of water safety and encourage all adults to stay close to the pool area, be alert and watch children carefully. Although swimming pools are a great summer past time, our McAllen swimming pool company wants to ensure that everyone is safe and an afternoon of fun does not turn into a tragic one.
Pool safety should be the number one concern for a family with children and a swimming pool in their backyard or a local park. There are several steps that can be taken to prevent injury or even death:
• Watch your children and never leave them unattended
• Keep children away from pool drains, pipes and other openings
• Keep a cell phone close nearby at all times
• Check the pool first if a child is missing
• Share safety instructions with family, friends and neighbors

Water Safety Skills and Appropriate Equipment
Swimming pool accidents can happen, and it is important to learn and practice water safety skills that can help save a life. Here at Flamingo Pools we recommend that our customers learn to swim, perform CPR on children and adults and understand the basics of life saving that can be helpful in a pool emergency.
Appropriate equipment installed around a pool area can also help save a life. Families can take these precautions by:
• Installing a fence around the perimeter of the pool or spa that measures four feet or higher
• Use self-closing and self-latching gates
• Ensure all pools and spas have proper drain covers
• Install a door alarm from the house to the pool area
• Maintain pool and spa covers in working order
• Have life-saving equipments such as life rings or reaching poles available for use
Safety Turtle Personal Immersion Alarm
Flamingo Pools has a safety solution for parents with children called The Safety Turtle Immersion Alarm. The alarm is an effective “last line of defense” to protect children against water accidents. Children wear the safety turtle, while the base station remains near an adult. An alarm sounds at the base station if the child enters or falls into the water. The Safety Turtle wireless gate alarm extends its protection by also protecting and reinforcing the perimeter pool fence.
