Spring Safety Posted By : Regina Jacques
April 4th, 2009The wonderful weekend has once again flown by. Spring is quickly approaching, and we cleaned up the pollen off our back patio and pool over the weekend. The changing weather can definitely lift your spirits. ItÂ’s very amusing to realize that in Australia and New Zealand, the first day of September is their official first day of spring.
I never thought of the world being this way until I had met a friend that resided in Australia. They are experiencing their first week of fall this week! The four seasons are because of the relative position of the sun to the earth. Now in spring, the sun is moving north, and is crossing the equator for us here in the northern hemisphere.
What does spring mean to you? I think of warmer days, flowers everywhere, being able to do more outdoor activities, like as getting your back yard ready for pool parties and barbecues, and spring cleaning. Kind of like a new start. Here it is, the beginning of spring, and I already heard of a poor little 4 year old girl drowning in a pool in Tampa. That is so saddening. It is not very often thought of until you hear stories like this one.
More than nine hundred children between 1 and 14 die every year in drowning accidents. A child safety pool alarm is an absolutely priceless thing to own if you own a pool and have a small child or pet for that matter. The little dog drownings usually do not make the news, but it happens. Even old dogs have been known to fall into the pool and drown because they start to lose their sight and scent in their older age. Some dogs never learn to swim because of absolute fear, and panic, shock and fatigue can all be lethal for them.
If you have kids, grand children, or if youÂ’re a pet parent, make sure you protect them today. Their life depends on you. DonÂ’t procrastinate and wait until something happens to them. Be smart and check out the pool alarm today!
Yours In Safety,
