Invisa, Inc. and Guardian Pool Fence Systems, Inc. are jointly developing the first parent interactive electronic swimming pool fence that will detect “potential breaches” and sound an alarm even before a child has crossed the pool fence’s perimeter, allowing for quicker adult notification and response times to prevent injuries and deaths due to drowning. This innovation is a landmark in pool safety and security.

Sarasota, Fla. & Van Nuys, California (PRWEB) June 7, 2006 -- Invisa, Inc. (OTCBB:INSA) and Guardian Pool Fence Systems, Inc. announced their plans to jointly develop an innovative, next generation swimming pool safety system by combining Invisa’s patented “InvisaShield™” electronic non-contact safety technology with Guardian’s state of the art swimming pool fencing technology. The new pool fence safety system is being designed to be the first parent interactive electronic swimming pool fence that will detect “potential breaches” and sound an alarm even before a child has crossed the pool fence’s perimeter, allowing for quicker adult notification and response times to prevent injuries and deaths due to drowning. In pool accidents, even mere seconds can mean the difference between saving a child’s life and the occurrence of a tragic and irreversible event. Product availability and commercial roll-out of the new system is expected to be completed in the next 6 to 8 months to coincide with the summer 2007 swimming pool trade show and marketing circuit.


Drowning is the leading cause of death to children ages 14 and under in Florida, California, Arizona, Texas and Hawaii and four other states. Two-thirds of all drownings occur in the summer between May and August. In the United States, each year about 1,150 children in this age group drown.

Between 1990 and 1998 there were 5,803 children five years of age or under that were drowning victims in the United States. States, including Florida, have laws mandating swimming pool fences. However, many experts warn of the important role that parents play in preventing swimming pool accidents. Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury and death among children ages 1 and 2.
