What Are The Reasons For Swimming Pool Accidents?
2
Swimming pools are popular gathering places
during the hot summer months. However, those
meeting places can take a tragic turn in a split
second. Every year, many young boys and girls are
often victims of swimming pool accidents. Most of
those accidents involve a minor injury to the
body or the head. Here are the most common
causes of swimming pool accidents in
Philadelphia.

Lack of Supervision
Most accidents occur due to lack of supervision,
especially when there are children involved. If
the parents are too busy with their nap or making
calls, the children may wander off and end up in
an accident. At the same time, lifeguards may get
distracted and not see a poor child drowning in
the pool.

Defective Equipment
Missing or defective equipment is another reason
why so many people are injured every year around
swimming pools. Most injuries occur around pool
ladders, which are usually not properly
maintained, not allowing swimmers to get into and
out of the water safely.
5
Damaged Property
Everything around the pool area can be
potentially dangerous. The area surrounding the
pool is usually wet and slippery. Running around
the pool will most likely result in an accident.
In addition, damaged tiles can create a tripping
hazard. At the same time, unmarked depth changes
can be misleading, causing the swimmers to
unknowingly get into deep water.

Exposure To The Sun and Intoxication

• Staying on the Sun too much could cause the one
  to become dehydrated. Some symptoms of
  dehydration include
• Impaired judgment
• Lack of coordination
• Slow response

If you drink alcohol, you may feel the same
consequences. Remember that drinking around the
pool area is not a good idea. If you can, monitor
your alcohol intake and stop before it is too
late.
