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 Pool Safety
Aren't swimming pools wonderful? For me it's one of the nicest things about living in a warm climate. To look out onto a beautiful sparkling blue swimming pool is indeed a luxury to be enjoyed. Personally I love to spend hours by the pool, relaxing, swimming and having fun with my kids.
But, yes I'm sorry there is a BUT. Swimming pools can also be deadly. 100’s of children drown every year in swimming pools. Why? Well here’s what Bob Lyons from Safety Turtle says.
“Because the risk of accidental drowning is underestimated by adults of all ages.”
I agree 100% with Bob. People don’t realise the dangers and don’t realise just how quickly a child can drown.
A child can drown in less time than it takes to answer the telephone.
Shocking fact isn’t it?
Yet with a few simple precautions you can make your pool safe so that you and your family can enjoy your pool and stay safe.
Here are my top tips.
· Parents can’t be awake for 24 hours a day. Make sure that access to a swimming pool is blocked. Children have been known to wander to the swimming pool whilst parents are still sleeping. Installing a fence around the pool is one way to do this. Depending on the age of your child add safety gates around the house so that access to the pool is blocked.
· There are several excellent swimming pool alarms on the market now. There are alarms which detect movement in a pool should your child or someone else’s fall into the water or there are personal immersion alarms (anti-drowning alarms) which usually fit onto the individual child’s wrist. If they fall into water an alarm will sound. The personal alarms are a great solution if you are on holiday with a swimming pool close by.
· Teach your children to swim as early as possible. The first thing you should do is show them how to tread water in the pool and show them how to get to the edge of the pool and get themselves out. Calmly explain that if they ever fall into the water they need to stay very calm and remember what you have taught them. They should also shout loudly and clearly for HELP. Practice often.
· Once your child has mastered basic swimming skills, play pool games, diving games and races. All of these things when supervised will build your child’s strength in water.
· If your children have friends over or you have more than one child encourage them to be good buddies. Encourage them to watch out for each other in and around the pool.
· Children should never jump on, push or pull other children in the pool – Explain that this is dangerous and can lead to a child drowning.
· If your child spots someone in difficulty in the pool, explain to them that they should get out of the water and quickly attract attention to that person. They should never try to help themselves as they could easily get dragged underwater by someone else who is panicking.
Please always remember that although I have recommended the use of safety equipment there is no substitute for careful adult supervision.
Think of your swimming pool in the same way you think about your car. When you get in your car and go on a journey you put your seatbelts on and put your children in car safety seats. We do this automatically and then get on with enjoying the journey. Do the same with the pool, a few simple precautions and it’s ready to enjoy.
Have fun and STAY SAFE.

Our offer of the month
We are giving away FREE Pet Adapters to pet owners buying the Safety Turtle Alarm system.
Pet's can often swim quite well but swimming pools are very difficult for animal to get out of. Pets usually swim to the nearest edge if they fall in. Panic and exhaustion will quickly set in if the are unable to get out. Normal pool ladders are almost impossible for pets to use.
Protect your pets around water. The Safety Turtle PET ADAPTER allow you to securely fasten the Safty Turtle sensor to your pets collar. If your pet then goes into the water a loud siren will sound immediately.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
