Pool Safety For Kids

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009
by Marion Rose Jones

Owning a swimming pool on your property can be a great way to have fun for yourself and your entire family. However, despite that, it can also be very dangerous if you have children around. If you have the patience, you should wait until your kids are at least five years old or more before you put a swimming pool on your property. On the other hand, if you already have a swimming pool, there are ways that you can safe-guard your children.

One thing you should always keep in mind is to never, ever, allow your children to be alone near your pool. Children are attracted to water and all it takes is a second for them to be in the swimming pool. If you and your children are at your pool side and you have to leave the area even for a second, you must always take your children with you.

To be completely safe, you must always make sure that you have plenty of safety equipment around your pool at all times. Safety items are essential to have around, as they could save the life of a child or in fact, anyone else who can’t swim.

You should invest in a shepherd’s hook too, as you can use it to pull someone out of the water. Having a phone at your pool is also a good investment, as you can quickly call for help in the event of an emergency.

If you don’t already have a fence around your pool you should think about getting one. A fence is a useful way to keep children from your pool. If you have a protective fence up, you don’t have to worry about little children falling in, while you are away from the pool. When you put your fence up, you should always make sure that it’s at least 6 foot high, with a locking gate. This way, no one can get into the pool without a key, which you should keep with you at all times.

You should learn artificial respiration as well. Even though you hopefully will not ever have to use it. It is always great to know artificial respiration in the event of someone falling into your pool that is unable to swim. Whenever you have children you know can’t swim at your pool, you should always stay within reach of them, so you can react instantly if they fall in. A minute can make all the difference to saving someone’s life.

Always keep in mind that a swimming pool is for having fun in, although you have to always think in terms of safety first too. Once you have finished enjoying your pool for the day, make sure that you secure the poolside well – and padlock the gate tight so no one can get in too.

This year will mark the first installment of the biennial Artists of Hawaii 2009. The event is something that Hawaii residents all look forward to in attending because it will mark again the celebration of the locals’ talents and unique taste of the Arts. A guest curator will be featured this year who is none other than Laura Hoptman, the senior curator for the New York Museum of Contemporary Art.

To avoid confusion on what I am about to discuss to you now let me first give you the difference between Modern, Post modern and Contemporary Art as these are three subjects that are oftentimes misused. Contemporary Art depicts the art of the Modern times, it is often confused by Post modern because some claim that we actually live in the Post Modern era already and that any art that comes out during these times should be called as “Post Modern”.

Contemporary Art is used to describe the current trend of Styles during the ongoing era. The term contemporary does not come into existence until the half of 19th century (1950’s) onwards. Modern Art is described as Art that emerged after the renaissance Period or the Period of “rebirth”. It is oftentimes categorized as the Art created during the 18th to early 19th century. Post modern art is described as the combination of the different Art Styles during the Modern era and these styles includes: Art Nouveau and Art Deco among many others. Post Modern style is always a mixture of two or more style era.

Paintings are mostly on display on this exhibit. Expect young and talented artists churning out their fresh minds to create great pieces. Contemporary Hawaiian artists all gather at the Artists Guild to celebrate their talents by showing their creations to spectators and enthusiasts.

Come and visit the Artists of Hawaii 2009!
