Safe Summer By The Pool
This holiday season let’s create memories that last a lifetime – for all the right reasons. Summer is the time for fun in the sun with family and friends. For exploring new places and taking a dip to cool off but with the excitement of summer comes a serious reminder: pool safety can never take a vacation.
The MagnaLatch® Pool Safety Report 2024 highlights a stark reality—87% of parents are concerned about pool safety when on holidays, yet also admit supervision lapses when the relaxation sets in leaving children vulnerable. Tragically, a 16% rise in drownings last year highlights the urgency for vigilance and for families and pool owners to get serious about safety.
