I did a search but didn't find anything definitive. Is there a recommended alarm that will sound if a pet or kid falls in the pool when the alarm is enabled?

Harleysilo, I'd love a picture of what you did to your doors if you don't mind. Sounds like a great idea. Thanks.One simple thing i have done to my house is install locks up high on all door leading to the outside, so the kids can't get out by themselves. Now by locks i actually mean bolts from the hardware isle. They are about 6 inches long, i drilled a hole through the side of the door trim, and into the middle of the door. Insert bolt. I pull on the bolt head about 2" and it slides out of the door such that the door can be opened. I push it back in to lock it.
The reason i did that is i didn't want anything mounted to the surface of the door or door trim. To "repair" this when the kids are older/taller/wiser i just need to remove the bolt and slap a little caulk on the side of the door trim, inside door jam and edge of door itself.
I can take and post a picture if you like. I painted part of the bolt red so at a glance i can see if it's "bolted" or open. See Red it's open.
