Stover Insurance & Financial Services Recognizes the Dangers of Unsupervised Swimming and Shares Safety Tips with West Virginia Homeowners
Weston, West Virginia (PRWEB) July 25, 2013 -- West Virginia insurance agency, Stover Insurance & Financial Services, encourages the homeowners of West Virginia to play it safe this summer while enjoying the pool. It may seem like a good idea to take a dip alone on a hot summer afternoon, but the consequences are not worth it.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website (CDC), around ten people die from unintentional drowning each day. Throughout the years, these statistics have shown that swimming alone or a child swimming without adult supervision is a leading cause for a number of drowning outcomes. In fact, most headlines note that small children and infants are victims to drowning due to full access to a pool area without the aid of an adult or teenager. The severity of such situations calls for preventative safety measures. Stover Insurance & Financial Services has a few preventative techniques to share with the West Virginia community, including:
• Never allow small children to swim without adult supervision.
• Keep a cordless phone by the pool, in the event that one must dial 911 immediately.
• Have a fence or gate installed around the pool area and keep it locked at all times.
• Fix any faulty parts or pieces to fence if need be to avoid failure to close.
• Do not swim alone—even as an adult.
It is important to note that homeowners who have a pool on his or her property are responsible for and required to put up a gate or fence. Enclosing a pool area in a fence will not only lessen the chance of people entering a private pool area, but will also reduce both the homeowner’s and their carrier’s liability.
Residents of West Virginia who are interested in the addition of an umbrella policy on his or her home insurance should contact Stover Insurance & Financial Services by dialing 888-399-7635. Having an umbrella will not only offer protection for pool liability issues, but also coverage for the policyholder’s property and vehicles, as well.
