Try to convince them to go for a SPA can be enjoyed all year round and low maintenance.
The fence bullsheet is good but IMO peeps should be responsible enough to teach theire kids to swimm b4 getting a pool maybe???
Why should oldies with no kids forced to have a fence????? Crap!

I think fencing is meant to stop anyone's kids from letting themselves into a pool, not just the owner's kids.
Kids are kids, and if they
can climb a normal fence, then they can get into your yard. The pool fence is meant to stop them then getting into the pool.
Well if they can climb the perimetre fence they sure can open the swiming pool gate!!!!! so it is a stupid requirement!
Now if you do not have a perimetre fence you sure should have a swiming pool fence!
And then in that case should we get all the beaches, rivers, parks ponds and foutains fenced????? bloody nany state!
No, I don't agree. A lot of normal fences have railings (I can't remember the actual name), and are easy to scale. Even for me, and I am fat and old.
The idea of a pool fence, is that it has no such railings to climb on at an accessible height, and the latches are meant to be designed so that a young kid cannot open them.
If it is a normal yard fence, a child could put something up against the fence and use that to climb over.
Nanny state? Hardly. A lot of lazy people thinking it would never happen to them, more like it.
I think it has changed or will change, but I think you are allowed to class your side fences as part of the pool fence. At least in my situation, it means that kids from my yard can get into the neighbours pool area by climbing the side fence, whereas the owner's kids have to contend with a proper pool fence, so that they can't get in.
So, do you remember being a kid? Kids are very resourceful, and sometimes not so smart.
