Common Poolside Accidents and Injuries

Accidents according in or around the pool commonly include:

• Slips and falls
• Sunburn
• Choking or drowning
• Diving accidents

Poolside accidents affect children more frequently and severely than adults, but that does not mean adults do not experience injuries while enjoying a day at the pool. For adults, time in or around the pool frequently includes the consumption of alcohol, which significantly increases the possibility of accidents occurring.

Prevention of Poolside Accidents

For pool owners it is important to post adequate warning signs throughout the pool. Warnings should be posted to discourage diving in shallow areas and to prohibit running on particularly slippery surfaces. Children should always be closely supervised when near a pool.
