Katchakid Pool Safety Net

Safety Nets

100% safety that doesn't spoil the view . . 

For complete peace of mind the safest and usually the most economic solution to 100% pool protection is a Pool Safety Net  - it keeps children adults and pets safe whether the pool is full or has been drained for the winter or maintenance, yet it allows an unobstructed view of the pool and surrounding area

We are very familiar with Katchakid - the inventors of Pool Safety Nets - because we have installed truckloads of them in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Switzerland and Hungary.

After more than 40 years, and with over 350,000 safety net installations worldwide, there has never been a drowning accident when a Katchakid is correctly installed to a pool (or pond)

Watch a Katchakid video here

Blair Esson, CEO of Katchakid, designed the first safety net after the tragic death of a close friend's son, who drowned at a family get-together in 1967

Blair said, '...everyone was there, but nobody noticed the child fall in........... his death was horrifyingly silent.'

He was shocked to think that he had been enjoying himself while the child was gasping for life just a few feet away

 

He determined to find a way to ensure the safety of his own and friends swimming pools, so that other families would not suffer this devastating tragedy

Thus, the first swimming pool safety net was created: Blair called it Katchakid

Over the past 40+ years Katchakid has been re-evaluated, re-defined and modified to bring you today the very best in terms of child pool safety and is even available as a DIY item, anywhere in the world

 

  • Easy to Fit - 5-8 minutes to close the pool and make it safe
  • Easy to Remove - 3-5 minutes to open the pool
  • Total security for children and pets around the pool and Total peace of mind for adults
  • Katchakid Pool Safety Nets have been preventing drowning tragedies in commercial, public and private pools for over 40 years
  • More than 350,000 pool safety nets have been installed throughout the world without a single report of a drowning, nor even a near-drowning

Katchakid's purpose is twofold:

It acts as a deterrent - The pool is no longer an open magnet to children. They might investigate but lose interest fairly quickly ... It’s a learning process and kids quickly learn that when the net is in place this means 'NO - the swimming pool is CLOSED.'

Katchakid serves as a final, impenetrable barrier - if the children do manage to get over the fence. If kids stumble and fall , stretch out for a lost toy or even ride their bikes across it for a dare (like kids sometimes do): -

  • Katchakid will catch and save them
  • Kids can’t get through Katchakid
  • Kids can’t get under it
  • It's the ultimate in child drowning prevention

Key Benefits:

  • Impossible for your child (or most pets) to reach the water
  • Impossible for most children under 10 (and most pets!) to remove, get through or get under the net
  • Affordable peace of mind for you - just open the back door and let the kids run freely
  • You can be sure that, whatever else the kids are doing, they are safe because Katchakid prevents drowning

Cartoon Lifeguard

Lifeguard

- when you visit a public pool the chances are that you'll see a Life Guard on duty, vigilantly protecting the lives of the swimmers - stopping the more 
boisterous of them from accidentally injuring themselves or others by running,  'bombing', inappropriate behaviour or other unacceptable practices

Lifeguards have a lot of people to look after and they do a great job; saving thousands of lives every year. They do a difficult job - so cut them a little slack!

  • The Life Guard is there for the excellent reason that people can injure themselves or even drown in pools - and that happens all too often
  • Public pools must provide a Life Guard by law in most countries
  • Don't rely solely on the lifeguard because he or she has a lot of people to watch
  • When it comes to private pools the need for someone to watch over the swimmers is equally important, particularly to watch over the kids
  • A pool is an exciting place to be when you're a kid and in a situation like that kids are always stretching themselves, discovering and expanding their limits, and possibly pushing themselves further than they are ready for
  • This means that they can inadvertently hurt, injure or even drown themselves or smaller children, just through their excited, innocent play
  • Additionally, adults often enter a pool after a few drinks or after having taken recreational drugs, thus putting themselves in danger of drowning
  • No matter how many or how few people are in the pool SOMEONE must be in charge of Pool Safety and that 'someone' should be a sober swimmer; and preferably a 'someone' who has knowledge of lifesaving and Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) techniques

  • Any Grand-parent in the world would not hesitate to volunteer for the position of stand-in Lifeguard - but would they be up to the task of leaping 
     into the pool to save a child in distress?
  • You can learn to be a Lifeguard or learn CPR locally, wherever you are in the world, inexpensively or sometimes even for free from Govt. sponsored organizations or local groups like hospitals, fire departments, British Red CrossBritish Red Cross, St Johns Ambulance, schools, etc.
