17 SUCCESSFUL POOL FENCING Prevents a child from getting OVER, UNDER, or THROUGH and keeps the child from gaining access to the pool except when supervising adults are present The weak link in the strongest and highest fence is a gate that fails to close and latch completely Page 17 xxx00.#####.ppt 11/15/ :16:48 AM
18 PITFALLS IN POOL FENCING Perimeter fencing with self-locking or alarming doors between the house and pool area are often considered acceptable Pool covers may substitute for a fence Fence law pertains only to new pools Pool fences are rarely inspected and ordinances are often not enforced Ordinances may vary by jurisdiction Page 18 xxx00.#####.ppt 11/15/ :16:49 AM
19 SWIMMING POOL FENCING Type of Fencing makes a difference Isolation fencing (around the immediate pool area) is MUCH MORE SUPERIOR than Perimeter Fencing (Property Barrier) in reducing drowning Risk of drowning is 2 times less Page 19 xxx00.#####.ppt 11/15/ :16:49 AM
20 All pools must be fenced SWIMMING POOL FENCING Height must be over 4 feet No openings or gaps larger than 4 inches All gates must be self-closing and self-latching Page 20 xxx00.#####.ppt 11/15/ :16:49 AM

23 IN SUMMARY Texas children especially preschoolers are at risk for drowning at swimming pools 4-sided Isolation Fencing is the best method of protection We need a Texas-wide law to mandate 4-sided isolation Fencing Page 23 xxx00.#####.ppt 11/15/ :16:50 AM
