Can teaching my child how to swim prevent drownings?
There are a number of organizations and locations offering swimming lessons in any town. In conjunction with a child safety barrier and pool fences, knowing how to swim can help prevent pool-related accidents. However, even the most skilled swimmers are at risk for drain entrapment accidents. The suction force created when a drain is blocked can be upwards of 700 psi. In addition to teaching your family to swim safely this summer, make sure your pool is outfitted with an SVRS to prevent drain entrapment injuries.
