San Diego Swimming Pool Accidents a Real Concern

Being among the prominent group of San Diego personal injury lawyers, we recognize the paramount importance of safety during summertime. With over 10 million residential swimming pools nationwide, along with an additional 310,000 public pools, swimming pool accidents unfortunately occur, some with fatal consequences. Every day, approximately ten individuals succumb to unintentional drowning, including two children under the age of 15. Alarmingly, drowning holds the fifth position among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the United States.

While swimming is an excellent form of exercise and a delightful summer pastime, it’s crucial for adults to exercise caution, particularly when children are present. For infants and toddlers, it’s imperative that an adult remains in the water within arm’s reach, practicing “touch supervision.” With older children, constant attentive supervision by an adult is necessary, free from distractions, and the supervising adult must possess swimming skills.
