Swimming Pools

Swimming pools are a common feature of many backyards. They are a feature of the summer as much as bar-b-ques and fireworks for the Fourth of July. Unfortunately, they are also the source of many injuries. Swimming pools, as much fun as they are, are often the site of serious injuries. The majority of injuries around swimming pools relate to slipping and diving pools.

When an individual gets out of a pool, his or her feet are wet. This, when combined with the concrete or flooring around the pool, creates a hazardous situation that is likely to result in an individual slipping and falling. Once a person falls, the possible injuries are unlimited. If he or she hits his or her head, concussions are possible. Broken bones, cuts, and bruises are other possible injuries.

Another common slip site is the pool ladder. Because these are frequently made of metal, it is very common for people’s feet to slip while getting out of the pool. This can result in them bruising the front of their shin or knocking teeth out on the pool wall. Other, more serious, injuries are possible as well.

The most feared injuries pertaining to a pool involve the diving board. There are an infinite number of ways for people to injure themselves when using a diving board. Slipping on the board can result in serious cuts to the person. Diving too deep can result in concussions, broken facial bones, or broken necks. For this reason, many insurance companies will not insure pools with diving boards.
