"When people first take young children into the water, they have a gauntlet to run until the kids become swimmers and respect the water. That gauntlet is where Safety Turtle comes into play. It is like a seatbelt: you put it on a child or pet, and they can't take it off. It completes the fortification of the pool."

"The fence should have a properly maintained, self-closing, self-latching gate that is difficult for a child to manipulate. A lot of safety problems go away when you have those. If you have the money to install a pool, you owe it to yourself to buy those items."
