There is no zero risk.
Only active monitoring by you, combined with passive monitoring by your
immersion detector can give a high level of safety.
In no event must the installation of this alarm system reduce your vigilance
or replace active monitoring of the swimming pool and the area around it.
Speed of intervention after the alarm is triggered is decisive.
Never go too far if your child is playing near the pool.
Guidelines on resuscitations and first aid procedures are available in many
emergency centers or associations.
You can also contact your state health insurance office to attend first aid
courses.
