How to Avoid Swimming Pool Accidents
The summer time is all about relaxing and enjoying outdoor activities. One thing you always look forward to when summer comes around is splashing in or just lazing around by the pool. Unfortunately, swimming pools can be dangerous if you are not careful. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 3,500 people in the United States die every year in drowning accidents. From 2005-2014, an annual average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) occurred in the United States i.e. roughly 10 deaths per day. Approximately 1 in 5 people who die from drowning are children aged 14 and younger. Tips
