    Safety Bracelets for Kids. Do They Work?

    I realize it's not the safest thing we could do and a pool cover or fence would be safer. I'm not sure we want to install a fence just for the few times a year I might have some young kids staying at my house so I am looking for another line of protection in addition to watching them like a...

    Safety Bracelets for Kids. Do They Work?

    We will always be there and would never leave them unsupervised. But with 3 active little boys going 3 different directions, it can be difficult to have eyes on them every minute of every day so I am looking for something to help give us a little piece of mind so that their entire stay isn't...

    Safety Bracelets for Kids. Do They Work?

    Has anyone tried those bracelets you put on kids wrists that alert you when they enter water? We just finished an uncovered pool. All of our kids are swimmers but occasionally I watch younger kids and my sister has plans to stay at our house with her 3 young boys. I'm trying to decide the best...

    Removable fence or pool net cover for safety?

    Thanks MouseMan54! That is very helpful information. Our pool will be 40' long. I did not consider the length being a factor in making it more difficult to put on and take off but it makes sense. Is yours the actual katachakid brand?

    Removable fence or pool net cover for safety?

    Thank you DuaeGuttae! This is exactly the type of experience I was hoping someone would share. I was mostly curious to know if one person really could install and remove it alone how quickly. I definitely think we will go with the net. I have been trying to get a hold of a katchakid rep to get a...

    Removable fence or pool net cover for safety?

    Can you tell me why? - - - Updated - - - Have you seen videos of the fence and how they work? It is impressive to me how something temporary and removable like that could be so strong. I am convinced it is quite safe. At least for what I am looking for. I am looking to have something...

    Removable fence or pool net cover for safety?

    We are trying to decide on which safety measure we will do for our new pool build. I've narrowed it down to a removable mesh fence (mostly likely from diypoolfence.com) or the katchakid pool net. Anybody have experience with either? I'd love to hear from anyone who has lived with it and can tell...

    Diving board or jumping rock? Help!

    We are getting to the final details on our pool plans and I am having a hard time deciding between a jumping rock or diving board! We can only find two insurance companies that will insure us with a diving board and they require it to be no more than 20" off the water. Well, that seems kind of...

    Volleyball system recommended?

    Yes, we have considered a sport pool but we are torn between that and a diving pool. I would love to have both but that means a big pool and much less space for a volleyball net. That's why we are trying to "squeeze it in."

    Question about depth of pool for volleyball and basketball

    Can I see a picture of your pool? I am trying to decide something similar. How deep is your deep end and do you have a diving board?

    Volleyball system recommended?

    How much room do you have on the side of the net for kids and adults to comfortably play? We are looking into building a pool and are trying to be creative with where to put a volleyball net in. Do you think 10 feet is enough room on either side of the net? Thanks!
