Swimming Pool Injuries

May 8, 2018

Swimming is a popular way to cool off and enjoy a sunny day in California. As summer approaches, pools become a favorite spot for children and teens to have fun. However, pool safety is essential, as thousands are injured or die or lose their lives each year due to pool-related accidents, often stemming from negligence. If you or someone you know has suffered a swimming pool injury and believe negligence may be involved, contact SANFORD A. KASSEL, A Professional Law Corporation for an initial consultation.

Swimming Pool Negligence

Many pool injuries result from negligence, commonly due to improper maintenance of the pool and its surrounding areas. Slip, trip, and falls are one of the most common causes of swimming pool related incidents. Some injuries occur when children run or jump unsupervised, while others arise from poor maintenance of pool decks, leading to preventable accidents.

Electrocution is another serious pool-related risk. Faulty electrical wiring or damaged lighting covers can cause an electrical current to flow through the water. Additionally, when electrical equipment, such as junction boxes, is positioned too close to the pool, there’s a significant risk of electric shock.

Safety Tips

To minimize the risk of pool injuries, follow a pool safety checklists to keep your pool area secure. Essential pool safety measures include:

  • Prepare Your Pool Properly: Before use, ensure your pool is inspected for safety issues, and follow any safety recommendations. Regularly test pool water to ensure chemical levels are within safe ranges.
  • Provide Adequate Supervision: Supervision is crucial, as drowning incidents can happen in seconds. Children should always be supervised in the pool, regardless of their swimming ability. Additionally, if there’s no barrier preventing access to the pool, children should be accompanied at all times when outside.
