Last month, we wrote a blog article about the terrible death of Olympic Champion Bode Millers nineteen month old daughter. Now,  Morgan Miller, Bode Miller’s wife, has finally spoken in detail about her daughter’s death. She mentioned how she and her husband have both decided to start raising awareness regarding child drowning and the dangers of having a pool without a proper fence installed. They are working on a foundation that will help parents learn of these dangers in order to prevent others from experiencing these painful and devastating accidents.

Water – The Greatest Danger for Children

It might be surprising and shocking to hear that drowning is the main cause of death in children between the ages of 1 and 4. It only takes seconds before a child suffers irreparable damage caused by drowning. Morgan has started to talk to other parents who have lost their children in swimming pool accidents. The idea is to let the world know of the dangers and the require precautions that will keep these tragic accidents from happening any longer.

Residential Pool Owners and Safety Measures

Owning a pool comes with great responsibilities. The first thing to consider once the pool is ready for use is the installation of a swimming pool fence. Self-locking gates should also be part of this installation to prevent children and pets from drowning. These are very affordable precautions that any pool owner should be able to afford.

Finding a professional pool fence installation service is very important. All precautions and measures for optimal results need to be considered. The idea is to avoid using the pool before the fence and the self-locking gate are installed. We know how exciting it can be to have a pool at home, but preventing tragedy is a priority that no pool owner should ever forget.

Final Thoughts

It’s great to see couples like the Millers who have decided to be brave in order to help prevent this kind of tragic incident from happening to other families. Hopefully they will reach a large audience of pool owners who are going to make sure their pools are safe and secured.
