Swimming Pool Safety Deadline Approaching

By federal law all public swimming pools and hot tubs must shut down after Friday if they don't have new, safer, drain covers installed.

The new requirements involve what are known as "anti-drowning covers" that are designed to keep people from getting sucked onto drains and held under water. "It's kind of putting the cart before the horse."

Congress passed a law last year requiring new drain covers on public swimming pools and hot tubs. The legislation stems from an incident in which a six-year-old, Minnesota child was partially disemboweled when she sat on a wading pool drain. The child died last March, three months after Congress passed the law.

Thats good to see Chucky.

Yes there used to be a problem with hot tubs too.......suction drains at the bottom of the tub.

There was an incident here, I remember, when a young girl with long hair, went under the water in a hot tub, and her hair got sucked into the drain and she was unable to pull herself free, and drowned.......terrible terrible terrible.....

We have had laws about hot tubs here  for quite a while.

We call them "spas" here, they are the same thing, but over here in Oz, we usually have the water on cool temperature.

We have one, and we use it at least once or twice a day in summer. Very refreshing.......and stimulating.......

Alas, the stories about toddlers being disemboweled in backyard swimming pools are very definitely and sadly true, David. They are not urban myths. There were quite a few such deaths here in Australia some years ago. Reported widely in the legitimate media. Haven't heard of such an incident for some years now, I presume because the filter manufacturers have rectified the problem.

yes, there have been several stories here too. there was a girl killed in Dallas when her HAIR got caught in one..

the suction is so strong that even adults pulling on the children can't pull them off.
