Coverstar’s automatic pool safety covers are an innovation I wish I had known about. Simple steps like swim lessons and installing an autocover can make all the difference in keeping kids safe around the water. – Bode Miller

Bode Miller, Olympic gold medalist and the most successful male American alpine ski racer of all time, and his wife, Morgan Miller, a former professional beach volleyball player and current member of LOVB Salt Lake City, are the proud parents of eight children. Tragically, their nine-month-old daughter, Emeline, drowned in a neighbor’s pool—an unimaginable loss that fuels their passion for sharing the message of pool safety.

A Preventable Tragedy

The Millers emphasize that drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages one–four, and it often happens silently and quickly, and most often in residential pools. Their mission is to raise awareness of pool safety, so no other family has to endure what they did.

Why Pool Safety Covers Matter

Automatic safety pool covers provide a powerful layer of protection with the push of a button, creating a barrier that helps prevent accidental entry into the pool when it’s not in use.

Layers of Protection

The Millers encourage parents to use a multi-layered approach
to water safety:

• Teach kids to swim early
• Never leave children unattended near water
• Invest in proven safety tools like automatic pool safety covers

Peace of Mind for Families

Every layer of protection makes a difference, but only an automatic pool safety cover offers immediate, reliable security whenever the pool is closed. With a Coverstar automatic pool safety cover, families can enjoy their pools while dramatically reducing the risks. For the Millers, spreading this message is about turning personal tragedy into life-saving awareness—so every family can focus on making memories, not mourning a preventable loss.
