The home swimming pool – created to be the point of family fun and recreation - but in stark reality, pools have been the scene of almost 50% of all drowning tragedies in South Africa, with Gauteng reporting the highest number of these drowning tragedies. Statistics supplied by the NSRI last year showed that children under sixteen accounted for nearly 47% of all drownings recorded in South Africa – with two-year-olds being the most susceptible at 7% of all deaths. A disturbing 40% of all drownings occurred in private homes. Jacuzzis , water features, Koi ponds and so on are added and equal risks and the lack of adequate protection around these areas is a matter of great concern. Even more worrying is the fact that of all pre-schoolers who drown, 80% are in the care of one or both parents at the time of drowning and 78% are missing from sight for five minutes or less.

For three child who drowns, four are hospitalized for near-drowning and are left severely and permanently disabled. The longer the victim is submerged, the greater the chance of permanent brain damage or death. The horror of losing a child through drowning is something no parent or guardian should ever have to bear. As a pool owner you are obligated to provide protection to avoid such tragedies and preferably more than one layer should be installed. Pool fencing is the first step to securing your pool area from curious and highly mobile toddlers and ideally should be backed with other measures such as secure pool nets, safety covers or pool alarms to eliminate the risk of human error.
