According to the government website Pool Safety.gov, 260 children under the age of five drown in public and home swimming pools each year. An often overlooked cause of pool accidents comes from drains and suction systems. The Consumer Products Safety Commission reports 130 people have had their hair trapped by a drain device since 1990, with 27 of those swimmers dying.
Swimming pools provide opportunities for both recreation and exercise. Whether commercial or private, however, paramount to any swimming pool owner or operator is the safety of all those around the swimming pool environment. Safety is not only a matter for what goes on in the water but also around the pool, on the deck, in the bathhouse and adjacent facilities. Keeping a swimming pool safe is a matter of knowing what's needed to prevent accidents or injuries and also what to do if an accident occurs.
