Drains in pools and hot tubs: While we may be vigilant watching our children in the water, these drains have powerful suction devices capable of dragging even an adult underwater. Even under your watchful eye, it may be difficult to get your child away from such a powerful device if they are submerged. Inspect drains frequently, looking for damage or breakage. You can also invest in safety guards and alarm systems that are sold to prevent your child from drowning by the powerful vacuums these systems are comprised of.
