In Central Florida, where pools are open year-round and kids are often swimming before they can walk, safety is non-negotiable. Beyond being smart, it’s also required by Florida’s Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act to have certain barriers in place. Here’s what to include for peace of mind:
1. Safety Fences
A self-closing, self-latching fence at least 4 feet high around your pool keeps children and pets safe. Mesh or aluminum options work well in Florida’s climate.
2. Pool Alarms
Install surface wave alarms or sub-surface alarms to alert you if someone or something enters the water unexpectedly. Door and gate alarms are also a must if your home opens directly to the pool area.
3. Pool Covers
A sturdy safety cover can prevent accidental entry when the pool isn’t in use. Choose one designed for Florida’s sun exposure—UV-resistant materials last longer here.
4. Anti-Entrapment Drains
Compliant drain covers prevent dangerous suction accidents—especially important for older pools.
5. Lighting
Good underwater and perimeter lighting helps avoid slips, trips, and unseen hazards during evening swims.
