I have a loop loc safety cover. We use for when we go out of town, etc. However, the cover only comes off with a special tool, and even then is no piece of cake. The middle can hold the weight of 3 adults. If a child walks onto the cover their feet will get wet, but that it. So if used correctly, in conjunction with other precautions, this cover can help protect children from drowning. (Just my thoughts)
