Each year more than 300 children under five years of age drown in residential swimming pools! These pools are usually family owned pools and these deaths could have been prevented. In addition, more than 2,000 children in that age group are treated in hospital emergency rooms for submersion injures. All bodies of water including pools can be very dangerous, especially for children.
