According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, swimming pool accidents are a very serious and deadly problem in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that there are about 3,800 drowning deaths each year. About 90% of those drowning deaths are swimming pool related tragedies and 20% of the drowning deaths are children under the age of 14.
However, the statistics of nonfatal pool injuries are beyond belief. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found that for every child that has lost his or her life in a fatal swimming pool accident, another five more children were rushed into local emergency rooms for nonfatal submersion injuries. In other words, for every fatal pool accident, five other children sustained very serious swimming-related injuries requiring emergency medical treatment.
The CDC has also found in their research that over 50% of drowning victims, who were treated in emergency departments (EDs), required additional hospitalization and/or a transfer to another medical facility for further treatment.
These nonfatal drowning injuries can cause:
The primary factors that lead to drownings or serious injury are a lack of barriers to prevent small children from entering the pool area unsupervised, not wearing a life preserver, intoxication, and medical condition such as seizure disorders.
