Diving and Swimming Pool Accidents

Swimming pools can be a source of great family enjoyment, although they also pose a great risk for injuries.

Diving in too shallow waters can cause head and spinal injuries, which can lead to paralysis. Diving should not be done in waters less than 6 feet deep, and even then, great caution should be taken. When a diving board is used, extra caution should be taken, as the force of the diving board could propel you through the water more than you expect. Always dive into a pool with your hands in front of you, so if anything hits the bottom of the pool, it’s your hands and arms, not your head.

When around a pool, it is important to always walk and never to run. No matter what safety precautions are in place, the surface around a pool can always become slippery and dangerous. If you lose your footing, always put your hands out to break your fall. Hitting your head on the concrete, brick, or other hard materials around a pool, can be critical and even fatal.
