Pool safety
Drowning accidents and how to prevent them
It’s our job to protect children from unseen dangers, including those that disguise themselves as innocent summer fun. Every year, when spring brightens to summer, Washington residents of all ages eagerly take to swimming pools, often unaware of the dangers.

5,100 emergency room-treated drowning-related injuries treated annually from 2010-2012
390 annual average number of drowning deaths in pools and spas of children ages 0-14 from 2008-2010 as reported by the CPSC.

76 percent of reported fatalities and injuries which occur in children under 5

#1 drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 1-4

67 percent of deaths involving children between ages of 1 and 3

How to prevent children from drowning
Parents and caretakers
There are numerous water safety steps that can be adopted to significantly reduce the number of child drowning deaths and submersion (淹没) injuries that occur each year in the US.
What you can do
♦Always watch your child when he or she is in or near a pool or spa (温泉)
♦Have a portable telephone close by at all times when you and your family are using a pool or spa
♦If a child is missing, look for him or her in the pool or spa first
♦Learn to perform CPR (心肺复苏术) on children and adults, and update those skills regularly

Hazardous (危险的) or poorly maintained pool and grounds
The risk of drowning is cut in half when there is a fence that completely surrounds the pool.
What you can do
Parents and homeowners must minimize (最小化) risk of injuries resulting from slip-and-fall incidents by maintaining pool grounds and banning dangerous behaviors. Install a 4-foot fence around the perimeter (周围) of the pool and make sure it has a gate that is self-closing and self-latching.

Pool chemicals
In 2008, an estimated 4,574 people visited an emergency room for pool chemical-related injuries.
What you can do
♦Store pool chemicals out of the reach of children
♦Add the pool chemicals correctly
♦Avoid splashing (喷洒) chemicals into your eyes or onto your skin

Incorrectly preparing a pool to close or reopen
72% of drowning deaths from 2006 to 2008 occurred in residential pool or spas.
What you can do
♦ Hire professionals for pool maintenance or seek professional advice
