Shelter Cove Resort Condo (Osceola County)

On December 17, 2007, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SSAct) was signed into law. This important child safety law became effective in December 2008 and strives to:

• Enhance the safety of public and private pools and spas
• Encourage the use of layers of protection
• Reduce child drownings in pools and spas (nearly 300 each year involving children younger than five)
• Reduce the number of suction entrapment incidents, injuries and deaths
• Educate the public on the importance of constant supervision of children in and around water

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is the lead agency in implementing and enforcing the P&SSAct. CPSC is working with other safety groups in the pool and spa safety community to encourage the use of layers of protection--such as fencing around pools, constant supervision, and requiring anti-entrapment drain covers and other safety devices.
