Swimming Pool Drowning Death & Injuries in Missouri

For children between the ages of one and 14, drowning is a leading cause of death according to the CDC. Even more concerning, five children in this age group are hospitalized due to a swimming pool injury for every one who loses his or her life. Whether at a public pool or one at a family member or friend’s home, there are certain measure that must be put into place to ensure safety. Private pools should include fences with gates that may be locked to keep young children out when not supervised; public pools should have warning signs posted, and lifeguards on duty. Property owners, whether of private or city/public property, are often responsible when a drowning death or injury occurs at a swimming pool. This is especially true when property owners do not properly warn or supervise patrons, or take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of those who enjoy the swimming pools.
