The first of many children drowning in the summer

The first of the season, a little boy of 6 years having a party, died in a swimming pool.
Dangerous things swimming pool to small children, even with precautions taken, it only takes a minute for a small child to drown. Every summer one is amazed at the number of pool, river and sea deaths reported. Take care with pool security.
The pool talked about below had a working alarm, but although alarms, covers, fences can help, keeping an eye on children around a pool is essential.
We had renters who let their small children play at the pool whilst they sat drinking on the terrace by the house, the children were about 4 years old. We had to ask they stay with the children when playing near the pool.
