Swimming And Water Safety

A pool safety net is a great way to make you pool safe. You can relax and enjoy your pool and bring wonder and beauty to your back yard, but safety should be your #1 concern to protect your children and pets against the danger of accidental drowning.

Accidental drowning is the number one cause of death in children under the age of five. No safety net mean you child has a higher chance of drowning or submersion injury.

A quality pool net is one of the best insurance policies you can have. Inspecting a safety net should be done before and after each swimming season.

The pool nets you should be looking for are built to stringent ASTM-F-1346-91 standards and should be drawn tight over your pool using solid brass anchors, stainless steel connectors and a central tensioning system using only flush mounting points.

Net Pool Safety - Pool Net Installation

The net pool covers safety material should be a polyethylene fabric and weave with 3 1/2" squares. The standards of ASTM F-1346-91 calls for 4" or smaller squares. This is wonderful for child swimming pool safety and it protects even the smallest head of a child from going through the swimming pool safety net and at the same time it discourages children from playing on the net.

The safety and swimming pool leaf net cover material should be certified to hold 485 lbs in the center without breaking.This exceeds any real world situation.

Your swimming pool safety net should not only meet all ASTM F-1346-91 safety standards, they should be designed to be removed and replaced with minimumal effort. It should be an "easy on/easy off" ratchet and rollup type of swimming pool safety systems.

Swimming pool safety net installation should only done by fully trained technicians. No third parties or outside contractors should be used.

Swimming Safety Tips & Pool Safety Rules

A safety swimming pool net:

Have ease of operation - if there's a hassle there's a hazard. If there's no ease of operation you are less willing to put the net on whoch can create a dangerous situation.

Watch for inferior material. The netting needs to be machine made to ensure uniformity, strength, and tautness. Those handmade and home safety nets nets can loosen and sag.

The netting knots need to be stented (heat sealed) or else they'll slip

The netting should have stabilized UV Inhibitors. Sunlight and pool chemicals could shrink or deteriorate the netting material. The netting should be virgin, unused, and not recycled.

The components and fittings should be made from high quality and durable nylon, brass or stainless steel. Not an inflatable safety net, plastics and/or galvanized metals that could rust.

The pulley system should not be made of any metal. Metal tension pulleys can weigh down the center of the net and make it sag and scratch your fingerglass swimming pool.

The net hooks should not be bent nails but precision-engineered components. This will prevent entanglement.

Don't buy a pre-cut or DIY swimming pool safety net. I have never seen one that fit.

Be sure the net pool safety cover can be used on a roller which might half the time in rolling up the netting

You can get optional fittings so your entertainment area can be color coordinated to match your backyard, decks, pool vinyl swimming pool liner, copings etc…

If you like the look of your swimming pool safety net or freestyle safety nets you'll use it.

A swimming pool leaf net cover is not considered a safety net so please don't get them confused

Have a pool safety sign where everyone can see it

Install a child safety pool fence

Take baby swimming lessons or swimming lessons for children at your local pool

Understand child water safety and swimming and water safety

Having a quality swimming pool safety net is a wise investment but it's not a substitute for good adult supervision.
