As far as safety is concerned, a pool without a pool cover is like a house without a roof. The key advantage of pool covers is that they keep the pool clean and reduce maintenance, while establishing a secure barrier.

Pool safety covers are generally available in mesh and in solid fabrics. Mesh pool covers are a popular option in pool safety today. Mesh swimming pool safety covers are designed for both safety and maintenance, and, most often, they are chosen by pool owners who either use their pools infrequently or wish to close the pools down after the swim season has passed. Mesh pool safety covers are designed to keep leaves and debris out of the pool, while allowing water to pass through. This keeps the cover dry, enabling the leaves and debris to blow off or to be easily swept off. Pool safety covers provide an excellent barrier, which allows them to serve as safety devices as well. The tight-fitting cover prevents children from falling in or gaining unwanted access. A specially designed tool (which releases springs that are attached to anchors in the deck) is required to access the pool, even for an adult.

Nets as pool safety options offer some unique and desirable features in the effort to stop infants and toddlers from entering the pool water unseen or unheard. Pool safety nets have been in use for over three decades, and thousands have been installed worldwide. These pool safety nets are made of strong polyethylene braid and, thus, are extremely strong. A pool safety net provides a safe, secure barrier, and, at the same time, maximizes the available backyard space and preserves the view and ambience of the swimming pool area. The small squares in the net are too small for a child’s head or body to fit through and too large to let them walk, play, jump, or stabilize themselves on the pool safety net. An adult can remove or replace a typical pool safety net in just a few minutes.

Organizations such as the Drowning Prevention Society, United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, National Spa and Pool Institute’s Operation Water Watch, and the American Academy of Pediatrics have designed the necessary guidelines to help people enjoy pool activities in a safe manner.
