In an effort to turn the tide on these disturbing numbers, the US
Congress passed the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act.
The agency has said it will need assistance at every level, from
federal offices to municipalities, to ensure that our nation’s pools
are safe and in compliance with the life-saving law. However,
public reports indicate that some officials have no immediate
plans to enforce the law.
“This bill is going to save lives. We feel that PSC has an
opportunity and obligation to help raise awareness about
measures that can be taken to protect our children through
compliance and enforcement,” said John Procter,
Communications Director for the Pool Safety Council. “While
there is always room for improvement when it comes to safety,
we urge officials at every level to inspect the public pools in their
jurisdiction and make sure they are compliant. It is our hope that
officials use the upcoming months to take the necessary
measures to ensure that all children will be swimming in safe
pools as quickly as possible.”
