Swim Alert Pool Alarm Review

With spring and summer approaching, a lot of people are getting there pools ready for the season, most people don’t realize the risk they are running having kids around the pool with no alarm.

One of the most affordable and effective pool alarms available is the Swim Alert. This swimming pool alarm triggers powerful sirens that can be heard poolside and in your home if something weighing more than 18 pounds enters the pool. If something does enter the pool the alarm is triggered within seconds and can be this effective in pools up to 20’ x 40’.

The Swim Alert also includes a wireless remote that provides a second alarm and also lets you know if the batteries are low. The Swim Alert cannot be disabled remotely; it uses a magnetic key that requires you to inspect the pool to disarm the alarm.

Good Housekeeping magazine tested a series of pool alarms on the market to find out which ones worked the best and which ones you should avoid, this is what they had to say about the Swim Alert:

“The Swim Alert sounded on each mannequin drop test with the fastest average response time of 8.76 seconds, and did not alarm during the wind test. It tied with the Espio for the loudest alarm. This subsurface device meets all of GHRI’s safety requirements.”
