Safety Turtle poolside alarm now available exclusively through SelfCatering.ie
-Alarm sounds immediately when small children enter water at home or abroad-
We value your feedback and lots of you have expressed concern when travelling to our overseas villas as to the fact that there is always a concern for your childs safety around swimming pools. We know how important this is to you and as a result we are now able to offer you the Safety Turtle which will provide you with peace of mind as your child plays beside your villa pool. In no way will this replace monitoring and constant supervision, however it is a valuable added safety element to your holiday.
How it works-
This device warns parents if their baby or toddler has entered water allowing adults to react before serious injury occurs. While nothing can replace parental supervision, the Safety Turtle is an added security measure whilst on holiday with small children.
The Safety Turtle wristband is put on a child’s wrist and features a small water-sensitive turtle, so kids are keener on wearing them whilst playing about on holidays. Available in two bright colours each Turtle is permanently sealed and ruggedly built to withstand child’s play.
Should the child wearing the Turtle enter water, an audible shrill alarm sounds from the base station which needs to be located up to 100m from the poolside, alerting adults to the situation.
The Safety Turtle and its base station, normally located in the villa or home, is the only security system that provides continuous protection in a pool setting. The safety device works with water hazards such as pools, hot tubs, fountains, ponds, lakes and rivers - at home or away from home. It does not work with sea water.
Easy to operate, parents are supplied with a small key which is used to lock the band in place around the baby’s or child’s wrist. With no time to delay, the alarm will sound immediately upon submersion and continues until manually reset. Making sure there are no false alarms the device is designed not to sound if the Turtle is just splashed or sprayed.
The alarm can be heard through houses and up to 1500 ft away.
Additional wristbands are available so that more than one baby or child can be protected with the same Safety Turtle base unit and to avoid confusion each colour wristband uses a different frequency, matching the colour of the Turtle.
The device is portable and durable with a battery life of four years, and comes with a handy shoulder bag which is easy to carry as baggage.

Mary Power, Managing Director, Selfcatering.ie:
“We’ve all been on holiday and seen small children running towards a pool at speed but there are also times when parents’ heads are turned for just a few seconds and a child has managed to get into a pool. Child protection whilst near water can be a tricky situation and especially if there are a number of small children in one family. The Safety Turtle is not intended as a substitute for diligent child supervision or for pool gating but what does it does do is provide another layer of protection for babies and young children. If this alarm can alert parents to a situation then they can react before it gets serious. ”
