Safety Mission
Designer Pool Service  is a community advocate for swimming pool safety. We support programs that educate the public on the importance of swimming pool safety. We recommend each pool owner have a Certified Pool Operator inspect their pool for safety at least once a year.

Statistics
Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 4 and the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 1 to 14.

Approximately 300 people drown each year in Texas. For each child who drowns, it is estimated that four children are hospitalized for near-drowning.

In the time it takes to cross a room for a towel – 10 seconds – a child in a bathtub can be submerged; to answer the phone – two minutes – a child can lose consciousness; to sign for a package at the door – four to six minutes – a child submerged in a tub or pool can sustain permanent brain damage.

One inch of water that covers a child’s mouth and nose can cause drowning. Drowning areas of risk include: home pools, spas and ponds; natural bodies of water; bathtubs, toilets and buckets; and any standing water.
