May is Water Safety Month, a reminder to us all that while you’re planning your backyard oasis, safety matters just as much, if not more, than design.
That’s why voices like Bode Miller and Morgan Miller are helping bring more awareness to what’s at stake.
After the tragic loss of their daughter, Emeline, Bode and Morgan Miller have become passionate advocates for water safety, encouraging families to take a layered approach to protection.
“Coverstar | Automatic Pool Covers are an innovation I wish I had known about. Simple steps like swim lessons and installing an autocover can make all the difference in keeping kids safe around the water.” – Bode Miller, six-time Olympic medalist and world champion ski racer
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children under 5, and most incidents happen during non-swim time. These aren’t easy facts to think about, but they’re important for families to understand.
Automatic safety covers are one important layer, alongside clear pool rules and consistent adult supervision.
Together, let's ensure that every family can enjoy their pool, while preventing avoidable tragedies.
