MILLER HAS SEEN TRIUMPH AND
TRAGEDY.
TRAGEDY. >> Karen: HIS DAUGHTER DROWNED
IN A NEIGHBOR’S SWIMMING POOL
AND HAS BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR
POOL SAFETY AND HAS BEEN WORKING
WITH A COMPANY TO KEEP CHILDREN
SAFE.
SAFE. AND THIS STORY HITS HOME FOR YOU
ESPECIALLY.
ESPECIALLY. >> Hank: IT HITS HOME FOR ANY
PARENT WITH YOUNG CHILDREN.
WE’RE STARTING TO TEACH OUR
16-MONTH-OLD DAUGHTER HOW TO
SWIM AND SHE’S NOT DOING SO
WELL.
WELL. THE GOAL IS TO GET HER
COMFORTABLE IN THE POOL.
IF YOU HAVE A POOL LIKE MANY OR
WHETHER YOU USE A NEIGHBOR’S
POOL IN YOUR COMMUNITY, ANY
PARENT CAN RELATE.
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT POOLS
AND WATER CAN BE A BIG DANGER.
BODE MILLER WILL NEVER FORGET
THE DAY IT HAPPENED.
IT HAPPENED SO FAST.
>> WHAT DID WE MISS?
EVERY PARENT SECOND GUESSES
THEMSELVES.
THEMSELVES. >> Hank: HIS 19-MONTH-OLD
DAUGHTER DIED LAST JUNE AFTER
SHE WANDERED INTO THE NEIGHBOR’S
POOL.
POOL. >> I WASN’T THERE.
THERE’S NOTHING TO PREPARE YOU
FOR THAT MOMENT, THERE’S NOTHING
TO PREPARE YOU FOR IT.
>> Hank: IT HAPPENED SO QUICKLY.
IT’S QUIET.
IT’S QUIET. BEFORE YOU EVEN REALIZE WHAT’S
HAPPENED, IT’S OFTEN TOO LATE.
>> PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND IT’S
A MATTER OF SECONDS.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS -- WE’RE
HUMANS AND ALL GET DISTRACTED
FOR A FEW SECONDS.
>> Hank: ALMOST EVERY DAY IN
THIS COUNTRY, A CHILD BROWNS IN
A POOL OR A BODY OF WATER.
SINCE HIS OWN DAUGHTER’S DEATH,
MILLER AND HIS WIFE HAVE SPOKEN
OUT ABOUT THE NEED FOR SWIMMING
LESSONS, POOL SAFETY, TRAINING,
AND TECHNOLOGY TO PREVENT A
TRAGEDY.
TRAGEDY. MILLER HAS TEAMED UP WITH THE
CREATORS OF THIS PRODUCT, THE
CORAL MAN TA 3000.
>> TO ME, THE FIRST THING, IS
THERE TECHNOLOGY?
THERE TECHNOLOGY? I HEARD ABOUT THE POOL ALARMS.
BUT THEY GENERALLY WERE WAVE
ALARMS THAT GOT SET OFF AND YOU
TURN THEM OFF WITH THE KIDS GET
IN THE POOL.
AND THIS IS THE STRONGEST LAYER
WE’LL COME ACROSS AND HAVE HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME ACROSS
IN THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS.
>> Hank: WITH THE HELP OF
VOLUNTEERS, I TESTED IT.
IT WORKS USING CAMERA, MOTION
DETECTION AND THE LATEST
TECHNOLOGY TO ALERT YOU IF
SOMEONE ENTERS THE WATER.
IT’S ADVANCED ENOUGH TO
DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A BRANCH
FALLING IN YOUR POOL VERSUS A
HUMAN BODY.
HUMAN BODY. IT’S WHAT SETS THIS PRODUCT
APART.
APART. I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE
DEVELOPERS.
DEVELOPERS. >> TRACKS EVERYBODY IN THE POOL
AT THE SAME TIME.
AND NOT JUST STANDING, THE ALARM
GOES OFF.
GOES OFF. >> THE PRODUCT, IF THE CORAL
MANTA WAS INSTALLED, MY DAUGHTER
WOULDN’T HAVE DROWNED.
>> Hank: THE PRICE IS $1900.
>> THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN YOUR
KID SLIPS AWAY FROM YOU.
AND WHEN TECHNOLOGY IS AT ITS
BEST, IT CAN SUPERSEDE WHAT THE
HUMAN ELEMENT CAN BE.
>> Hank: HE WANTS TO YOU
REMEMBER IMPORTANT SAFETY TIPS
AND THEY COULD HAVE SAVED HIS
DAUGHTER’S LIFE.
DAUGHTER’S LIFE. MAKE SURE THE POOL HAS A
BARRIER, AT LEAST A 4-FOOT
FENCE, IDEAL.
FENCE, IDEAL. HAVE ONE ADULT DESIGNATED TO BE
THE POOL SPOTTER.
TEACH YOUR CHILDREN TO SWIM.
IT’S RECOMMENDED THEY START
GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE
WATER AT 6 MONTHS OLD.
>> I HAVE A POOL, AND AT THAT
TIME, MY DAUGHTER WAS ABOUT 6
MONTHS OLD.
MONTHS OLD. SWIM LESSONS NEVER OCCURRED TO
ME.
ME. >> YOU TEACH THEM TO PUT ON THE
SEAT BELT AND NOT TO RUN OUT IN
THE STREET OR THE PARKING LOT,
WHATEVER.
WHATEVER. WE HAVE IT NOW.
AND IF THEY CAN CRAWL, THEY NEED
TO BE ABLE TO FLOAT.
>> Hank: TEACH THEM ABOUT POOL
SAFETY AND NEVER SWIM ALONE AND
TEACH THEM ABOUT THE BUDDY
SYSTEM, SO SOMEONE CAN GET AN
ADULT FOR HELP.
THE PRICE POINT IS HIGH BUT
THERE ARE FOUNDATION THAT IS
WILL HELP PEOPLE AFFORD
DIFFERENT POOL SAFETY PRODUCTS
LIKE THE CORAL MANTA.
BODE MILLER TELLS ME THE GOAL IS
TO RAISE AWARENESS AND GET
EVERYBODY COMFORTABLE TALKING
ABOUT POOL SAFETY.
ONE CHILD EVERY SINGLE DAY.
>> Jason: AND WHILE THAT ONE IS
EXPENSIVE, YOU GET A LOOK AT
OTHER PRODUCTS THAT ARE LESS
EXPENSIVE.
EXPENSIVE. >> Hank: DOZENS OF PRODUCTS, AND
IT’S AFFORDABLE.
IT’S AFFORDABLE. $50.
