About Arizona Pool Fence Safety Day
Before a pool gathering, most Arizona families check the food, the towels, the sunscreen. But when was the last time you checked the fence?
Why June 30
Closes out National Safety Month, right before the July Fourth gatherings when Arizona pools are in constant use.
The Stakes
In Arizona, drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1-4. Most are preventable. (AZDHS / CDC)
A Layer of Protection
A pool fence isn't a substitute for supervision - it's what stops a child from reaching the water unnoticed.
The Habit
Before the gathering. Before the celebration. Before anyone gets in. Secure the pool.
History & Timeline
Arizona Pool Fence Safety Day was founded by Dane Bramhill, owner of Safe Pools of Arizona, LLC and a Phoenix-area distributor and installer of Protect-A-Child Pool Fence Systems. Dane created the observance because he believes pool safety begins before anyone enters the water. He chose June 30 because it closes National Safety Month, it falls right before the July Fourth period when Arizona pools see some of their heaviest use, and it happens to be his birthday - a personal reminder turned into an annual one for every family in the state.
