Well we're back from Barcelona. We had a great time, Barcelona's such a great city (even when it rains). The show was much quieter than previous years, still good though. Didn't really find much to tell you about. Lots of the smaller stalls with safety items just weren't there. I was impressed with a product called SWIMFIN. I've added a link at the side if you're interested in this product. It's a fun idea to help kids stay afloat and balanced in the water. I like this product and I've heard from several friends in the UK that they are becoming very popular as swimming aids during official swimming lessons. They come in an assortment of colours, so you'll be sure to find a colour your child likes.
I did see another range of products I loved. They're not in any way, shape or form safety items though. They're for kids and adults who are already good swimmers, but so much fun.
I might have to add a fun page with my own safety warning added. Watch out for more information coming soon.
Other than that it was the general pool cleaning ideas, pumps, heaters, spa's and pool builders.
No new and exciting products this time around. Oh well.
Best wishes and STAY SAFE
p.s. I've added a couple of new products down the side for you to check out.

Two Days Until Barcelona
Only two days until we head of for the Barcelona Swimming Pool Exhibition (and a little bit of shopping).
Richard is busy getting the pools in tip top condition, we've had strong winds and lots of leaves and rubbish blowing about. I'm not expecting to see him very early tonight. Mind you, I don't think many people will be brave enough to be swimming in the pools. The weather is certainly on the chilly side now.
So, we've got two full days at the exhibition. Richard will be on the look out for new, improved ways to clean the pools, heating methods, repair techniques and tools, etc, and I'm searching out new products for our safety line. Keep an eye out next week to see what we picked up at the show and new products we'll hopefully be adding to our safety range.
I'll catch up with you all next week and let you know how we got on.
Bye for now.

Swimming Aids.
Swimming aids are a fantastic and fun way to develop a child's confidence in the water and help them to learn to swim. Below I have Listen a few of my favourite swimming aids but I want to take a moment to issue a word of warning. Swimming aids are never a substitute for parental/adult supervision. Whenever a child is in the pool it is absolutely vital that he/she is supervised. A swimming aid will NOT prevent your child from drowning.
Use the swimming aids as intended and have great fun.
I also recommend the use of arm bands for beginner swimmers. I have used them for both of my boys whilst learning to swim, they help build confidence and a love of the water. As your child improves you can let a little air out of the arm bands giving less and less support.
Remember that swimming aids are designed to be used with adult supervision at all times.
Stay Safe by the pool and enjoy.

Safety Turtle Anti Drowning Alarm
Safety Turtle is a fantastic personal alarm system designed in Canada. A few years ago we were fortunate enough to become official distributors of the European model. We love this product and used it with our own son until a few years ago. My son is a fantastic swimmer now, but the peace of mind it gave us during those early years was unbelievable.
Let me tell you how the personal anti drowning alarm works. You get a base station which is about the size of a portable cd carry case. This goes into the house and is plugged into a normal electrical socket. The safety turtle wristbands, as you might imagine are shaped like little turtles. For our European market we have green turtles and blue turtles. The wristbands are completely sealed and childproof. The wristbands are strapped onto your child's wrist and locked in place securely using a special key. The wristbands are light and comfortable to wear (lighter than a watch). With each wristband comes a baby turtle (a miniature version of the one on the wristband), this baby turtle is pushed into a socket on the base station. With the baby turtle in place, the base station plugged in and the safety turtle wristband securely fastened to your child's wrist the alarm is working. If your child falls into the swimming pool now a shrill alarm will sound at the base station.
Any number of same colour wristbands can be used with just 1 base station, making this a cost effective and reliable to protect all of your children around the swimming pool.
The base staion covers an area of approximately 200ft (60m).
