Two children found dead in pool

Two missing children have been found dead in a swimming pool in the Bordeaux area. Looking up statistics makes one aware of the problem. Children between 1 and 4 are most at risk of deaths in their own pools. A swimming pool is 14 times more likely than a motor vehicle to be involved in the death of a child. A child needs to be discovered with in 2 minutes of falling in. In 86% of deaths the child is discovered after 10 minutes. Last year our roll out safety pool covers motor stopped working. We had a nightmare not being able to get it fixed for the season and ended up using an alarm. That was less than useless as it went off all the time with the wind, especially through the night. The alarm going off set the donkeys braying and the dogs barking ! Peaceful life in the countryside. Back to the serious note, we must try to protect those children around the pool.
