Nobody enjoys a poor sport. You know... that 'guy' who hangs out indoors by his television set, every day of the year and complains to his friends that he is bored. This summer, take the bull by the horns and get out there with your family and enjoy your pool with Dunn Rite Pool Products, which includes basketball and volleyball sets. A Mounted Or Portable Basketball Set Dunn Rite offers a wide range of basketball sets that can be mounted or moved around the perimeter of a pool. Decide if you would like to make a basketball set a permanent addition and research each model size that is available for purchase. Some basketball hoops are designed to be adjusted, which would be a benefit if you have young children who are going to have difficulty reaching the hoop right now. With this type of feature, you can adjust the hoop to the lowest setting so that your children can comfortably reach the rim when they are practicing. As time passes and your children excel at basketball, raise the hoop a little. A basketball set includes an acrylic or polycarbonate backboard, a regulation size net, a bright-colored basketball, hardware, a base, and an instruction manual. A basketball set that is moveable requires water to stabilize the base piece. Assemble the other components before using a water hose to fill the base. The pole that attaches to the hoop is designed to extend outward. This will prevent injuries, since you and your family members won't need to move close to the side of the pool in order to aim. Because a basketball hoop is regulation size, you and the others can play with precision and this can be useful if you or any of your family members play basketball on a standard court and would like to perfect aims and throws.An Adjustable Volleyball Net A standard volleyball set includes a net, stainless-steel hardware, clamps, mounting poles, anchors, and a regulation size ball. Some sets do not contain anchors and should only be purchased if you already have a way to stabilize the net. Two people are needed to install a net. One person can stand on each side of the pool and secure one of the poles to an anchor. After unrolling the volleyball net, one side of the net should be secured to each pole. Each anchor contains a reservoir that must be filled with water. The water will prevent the anchors from moving. The clamps that were enclosed with your purchase should be used to adjust the height of the net. After choosing the desired height of the net, use one clamp to secure each side of the net. For the first volleyball match, secure the net so that it hangs low and close to the pool's waterline. As you and your family grow accustomed to competing in matches, raise the net slightly so that each game is more challenging.A Combo Unit That Includes Both Games A combo unit contains everything that is needed to play basketball and volleyball. Purchase a kit if you would like to provide yourself and your family members with the opportunity to play both games during recreational sessions in the pool. After you receive your order, familiarize yourself with the equipment and the hardware that is needed to assemble the pieces of each game. Read the assembly instructions and locate each piece that is described in the installations steps. By learning how to set up each game, you won't need to waste a lot of time when you are ready to set up the equipment so that you can compete in some family-friendly competitions. Each game should be used separately. This will provide everyone with ample room to move around in the pool. During times that your pool is not going to be used, the recreational equipment should be stored in a clean, dry area. Before placing the items in storage, drain the water that was added to each base. Use a screwdriver or power drill to remove hardware pieces. Use a towel to wipe off the materials. Place the equipment inside of a waterproof container and set the container inside of your garage or storage shed.Dunn-Rite Pool Products and Inflatable Paddle Boards 3rd Generation Family Owned Company with a long history of developing innovative products of the highest quality.

In many states, drowning has been the leading cause of accidental death in the homes of children under 5-years-old. Many communities have sanctioned safety regulations with regards to residential swimming pools. However, it is up to the parents of the children to comply with the regulations. Aside from the laws, those who own pools must take precautions to reduce the possibility of their child access the pool without supervision. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), 75% of submersion victims were between 1 and 3 years old with 65% of them boys. Submersion incidents with children typically occur in a familiar environment and happen very quickly. Survival often comes down to quickly rescuing the child and restarting breathing while in the pool. To keep your child safe, there are several tips for you to understand:Tip #1 – Never Leave a Child Unsupervised While this may be the most obvious, in the time it takes for parents to answer a phone, the child could drown. During social gathers near a pool, appoint a designated watcher to protect the children from accidents. Adults often take turns as the water because when parents become preoccupied, children are now at risk. A good rule-of-thumb is to rotate watchers in 15-minute shifts.Tip #2 – Install Barriers While barriers are not completely childproof, they offer additional layers of protection for those who stray from supervision. A barrier can include any obstruction from allowing the child to enter the pool area, such as fences, walls or a power safety cover over the pool. You want to ensure the wall or fence is at least 4-feet tall so the child cannot climb it. Also, the fence slats should be no more than 4-inches apart to ensure the child does not squeeze through. Power safety covers must meet the ASTM pool cover standard for performance which requires the cover to withstand the weight of two adults and a child.Tip #3 - Utilize Door Alarms If the side of the house is one part of the barrier, then all doors leading to the house into the pool area should be protected with alarms producing an audible sound when opened. This alarm will notify the adult that the child is attempting to exit the home. The alarm should have a keypad to be used by adults when passing through the door.Tip #4 – Teach the Child to Swim According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, swimming lessons should be provided to children at the age of 4 or older. However, it is best to enter children between the ages of 1 and 4 into local aquatic programs to prepare them for swimming lessons. By having them become comfortable at a young age, they will enjoy being in the water and know the safety rules around your pool. While this is not a substitute for adult supervision and safety, there are drowning prevention skills that can be learned.Tip #5 – Learn CPR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is the process of resuscitating a drowning or choking victim back to life by clearing the lungs of water or the airways of an object. As a parent, learning CPR in case there is an accident could be the difference between life and death for your child. It is also recommended that babysitters, grandparents, older siblings or any other caretakers of your child learn CPR.Tip #6 – Put Away Pool Toys Children are often easily tempted by colorful pool toys shaped like animals or popular cartoon characters so they attempt to retrieve the toy and fall it. It is recommended that parents clear the pool and deck of the toys after each pool session so that children are not tempted to enter the area without adult supervision.Tip #7 – Safety Equipment There are some very interesting and beneficial pool safety gadgets that could save your child’s life. First, is a pool-mounted infrared detector which shoots out an invisible laser that, when broken, lets off a high-decibel alarm. Also, the underwater motion alarm uses a sonar grid to sound an alarm when movement is detected. Additionally, the personal immersion detector is worn as a wrist-band by the child which sounds an alarm when they contact the pool. Finally, as previously mentioned, a removable pool fence will create a temporary barricade if your child slips outside.Dunn-Rite Pool Products and Inflatable Paddle Boards 3rd Generation Family Owned Company with a long history of developing innovative products of the highest quality.
