- The majority of drowning of children ages one and four occur in residential swimming pools
- The majority of children who drowned in pools had been out of sight of an adult for fewer than five minutes
- Pools without effective barriers or fences surrounding them pose a greater danger to unsupervised children than those with such effective barriers in place

A POOL OWNER HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO ASSURE HIS OR HER SWIMMING POOL IS RELATIVELY SAFE
As with property owners more generally, pool owners have a responsibility to maintain their pools in a relatively safe condition. The responsibility to maintain a pool extends to access to the pool. A pool owner must take adequate precautions to protect people admitted into their pools, as well as take precautions to protect unsupervised children from gaining access to their pools.
TYPES OF SWIMMING POOL ACCIDENTS
The types of accidents that can be suffered in and around pools are great in number, and are often the result of a limited number of negligent omissions on the part of the pool owner, such as:
- Failing to install fencing around the pool
- Failing to install a secure gate to the fence
- Failing to warn of shallow water
- Failing to warn of or to remedy slippery conditions
- Failing to maintain the diving board in a safe condition
- Improper maintenance of electrical outlets
- Inadequate supervision of individuals in and around the pool
