Drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for kids 14 and younger. 77 percent of the children drowned had been seen 5 minutes or less before being missed and subsequently discovered in the pool. My family has a backyard pool and we did a lot of research before deciding upon a removal fence. Here are some of the websites we found:
http://www.poolsafety.gov/ (CPSC general pool safety site)
http://friendlyfencer.net/index.html (several members have used this company)
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/Pool.pdf (CPSC guidelines)
http://www.poolsafetycouncil.org/index.html (advocacy group)
