In Massachusetts including Longmeadow, residential swimming pools are required to be enclosed by a fence that is at least 4 feet high and has a maximum gap of 2 inches between the bottom of the barrier and the ground. The fence should be a solid barrier that is free of openings, indentations or protrusions. For barriers with spaces, the spacing between vertical or diagonal members cannot be greater than 1.75 inches in width and the maximum chain link mesh size is a 2.25 inch square. Any openings in the pool barrier must be smaller than 4 inches in diameter.

Protect Your Family From Accidental Drownings with A Life Saver Pool Fence

Regardless of how safe you think your home is, or how vigilant of a caretaker you believe you are, if you have young children in your home it is imperative that you take proactive measures to secure your pool and make sure it is inaccessible to children. The CDC reports that drowning is responsible for killing more children ages 1-4 years than any other cause of death with the exception of birth defects. Furthermore, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that approximately one in five people who die from drownings are children under the age of 14. An unprotected pool is more dangerous to your children than a loaded gun, so it’s important you take the potential threat seriously.

The majority of young children drowning incidents involved a brief interruption in supervision. This can happen to anyone. All it takes is a phone call or an unexpected visitor dropping by to say, hello and before you know it, you’re no longer in pool watch mode.

Oftentimes, people assume that when a child is drowning, they will scream out loud for help. Or, you hear the child struggling and splashing water frantically — that’s not always the case. In fact, a pool drowning can be a silent killer.

So, how does a parent or a pool watch person prevent a pool drowning accident from happening?

You have to always make sure your eyes are glued to the child you’re supervising. You should be within arms length of the child, so that you can rescue him/her without a hitch whenever needed.

Here are a few important things to do to help prevent a child from drowning:

  • Install a removable mesh pool fence from a reputable company like Life Saver Pool Fence of England. Massachusetts swimming pool laws require a protective barrier to be at least 4ft high. Pool gates have to be lockable. All pool locks must be at least 4ft feet from the ground so toddlers and younger children cannot reach them.
  • Make sure to install pool alarms and locks.
  • Assign a designated pool watcher to supervise children. Children should never be left alone unattended in a pool or near a pool. If you need to leave, make sure you assign another adult pool watcher.
  • Make sure the pool patio is clear from any objects, such as toys or swimming equipment.
  • Children should learn how to swim at an early age.
  • Make sure you know CPR, including your babysitter, caregiver, and everyone in your household who will be assigned to watch your children.
  • When a pool is closed, make sure to have a pool cover to prevent children and pets from falling in.

    Originally, the town was farmland within the bounds of the city of Springfield in Massachusetts. Until the street railway was constructed around 1910, it remained essentially pastoral, when the population tripled in number over a period of fifteen years.

    Longmeadow, during the 19th and early 20th centuries, was renowned as the site from which mining of the Longmeadow brownstone emerged. Including the Neo-Gothic library of Princeton University, several famous American buildings are constructed from Longmeadow brownstone.

    Located in the western part of the state of Massachusetts, Longmeadow is merely south of Springfield, Massachusetts, as it is also bordered by Agawam and the Connecticut River on the west, to the south by Enfield, Connecticut, and to the east by East Longmeadow. Approximately, Longmeadow extends 3 miles north to south, and east to west, 4 miles. Hartford is about 20 miles south of Longmeadow.

    Supporting a vast range of wildlife, the area in Longmeadow includes wild turkeys, deer, foxes, eagles, and beavers. The Forest Park in Springfield, at approximately 735 acres, is among the largest city parks in New England, and within the town, forms the northern border.
