dbpprop:abstract
  • Paul C. McKain is an inventor and child-safety advocate. A retired Florida firefighter, McKain is recognized for co-inventing a swimming pool system designed to protect swimmers, particularly children, from drowning due to suction of underwater swimming pool pumps. This invention, and McKain's federal testimony on the dangers, injuries and deaths attributed to unprotected pumps, resulted in federal legislation requiring that all public pools and spas install this vacuum release system technology. Based on the success of his swimming pool system and legislative efforts, McKain authored a book in 2007 designed to assist other aspiring inventors and entrepreneurs in reaching similar success, titled Successful Failures: So You Have an Idea, Now What?
