Some Facts and Figures on Pool Accidents :
- (Source: US Consumer Products Safety Commission study, updated with more recent figures from the National SAFE KIDS Campaign.)
- Each year, an estimated 375 children under 5 years old drown in residential swimming pools, usually a pool owned by their family.
- In addition, more than 2,900 children in that age group (under 5 years old) are treated in hospital emergency rooms for submersion injuries.
- Pool submersions involving children happen quickly. A child can drown in the time it takes to answer the phone.
- Survival depends on rescuing the child quickly . . . seconds count in preventing death and brain damage.
- Child drowning is a silent death. There's no splashing to alert anyone that the child is in trouble.
- Medical costs for submersion injuries during the initial hospitalization alone can be quite high. Costs can range from $75,000 for initial emergency room treatment to $180,000 a year for long term care.
- Additional facts and figures and recommended safety precautions can be obtained from CPSC Publications available on the Internet at Child Drowning Prevention from the National Safe Kids Campaign and from Lifesaving.com Issues.
