Children & Swimming Pool Accidents/ Water Safety

Many of you may be planning several trips to the pool or other bodies of water this summer and, while it is easy to remember the fun associated with swimming and other water activities, it is important to note the dangers of swimming pools and other wet areas. According to the Live and Learn website, 300 children under the age of 5 are killed as a result of drowning in residential swimming pools annually, along with 2,000 children under the age of 5 who require hospital visits due to injuries from submersion each year.

In an alert from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, drowning has been named as the leading cause of accident-related deaths in homes of children under 5. Although several neighborhoods and communities have posted safety rules and regulations regarding residental pools, both inground pools and above-ground pools, parents often fail to follow the rules and find their children severely or fatally injured, some of them suffering serious brain injuries. For parents who own their own swimming pools, the Safety Commission recommends that they exercise extreme caution and create their own rules to reduce the chances of their children swimming in the pool without supervision.
