Pool Owners & Parents demand SWISH Modified Door-sets as the only PROVEN CHILD SAFE barrier between house & pool!
21 years without any child drownings, where Swish systems provide the barrier between house & pool, yet DrownbaseNZ 2025 advise child drownings have increased to 5.6 children, per year average, since 2017...
HOW?
With now over 6000 Swish door-set modifications, Swish statistically have saved at least 12 children from drowning, since 2005...
NOTING: If Swish modified door-sets were BCA listed, as an approved Child Safe Barrier between house & pool, (as fencing is) the last 21 years of Swish door-set modification, could have saved 156 children, based on DrownbaseNZ 2025 statistics...
View these statistics tabled by Swish, in the "Swish in Brief" page at www.swishautomation.com...
So wakey, wakey, Pool Owners architects, landscapers & specifiers...
But especially, council BCA pool compliance staff!
Time to do your job, "ensuring consent approvals DO NOT materially INCREASE CHILD DEATHS, in the home pool"
QUESTION:
All involved in a project need to ask MBIE & BCA's:
HOW MANY MORE YEARS (and child lives) WILL YOU WASTE, with RFI’s quoting factually unsupported opinion & interpretation???
The current Legislation & Regulation was published by Parliament in 2017, after Select Committee & public review, it is designed to REDUCE Child Drownings in the home pool, NOW, USE IT AS INTENDED! See less
