Prevent Young Children From Drowning:
Install fencing or approved barrier around all sides of pool.
State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved
barriers.
Check state or local laws and codes before setting up pool.
Drowning occurs silently and quickly. Assign an adult to supervise pool
and wear provided water watcher tag.
Keep children in your direct sight when they are in or near pool and
when you are filling and emptying pool.
When searching for a missing child, check pool first, even if you think
your child is in the house.
Pool presents a drowning hazard even during filling and draining of the
pool. Maintain constant supervision of children and do not remove any
safety barriers until the pool is completely empty and stowed away.
Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as
described in CPSC Publication No.362.
Assign an adult to be responsible for watching children in the pool.
Give this person a "water watcher" tag and ask that they wear it the
entire time they are in charge of supervising children in the pool. If they
need to leave for any reason, ask this person to pass the "water
watcher" tag and the supervision responsibility to another adult.
Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on
them to gain access to pool.
If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder's manual for instructions.
If you have a pump, refer to the pump's manual for instructions.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or
onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier which
complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 122 cm (48 in) above grade
measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the
swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between grade
and the bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm (4 in) measured on
the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool.
Where the top of the pool structure is above grade, such as an
aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the
pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the
barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum
vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the
bottom of the barrier should be 10 cm (4 in).
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 10 cm (4 in)
diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or
stone wall, should not contain indentations or protrusions except
for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members
and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is
less than 114 cm (45 in), the horizontal members should be located
on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between vertical
members should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width. Where
there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not
exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members
and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members is
114 cm (45 in) or more, spacing between vertical members should
not exceed 10 cm (4 in). Where there are decorative cutouts,
spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) in
width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed
4.4 cm (1-3/4 in) square unless the fence is provided with slats
fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no
more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a
lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal
members should be no more than 4.4 cm (1-3/4 in).
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs
1 through 7, and should be equipped to accommodate a locking
device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from
the pool, and should be self-closing and have a self-latching
device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a
self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of the
self-latching device is located less than 137 cm (54 in) from the
bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located
on the pool side of the gate at least 7.5 cm (3 in) below the top of
the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening
greater than 1.3 cm (1/2 in) within 45.7 cm (18 in) of the release
mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the
following should apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should
be equipped with an alarm which produces an audible warning
when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm
should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds within
7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet the
requirements of UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices
and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum
sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 305 cm (10 ft) and the
