In 2009, the Chief Coroner of BC recommended that a Pool Advisory Group be created to develop strategies for preventing residential pool drownings involving young children as: Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of accidental death for children in BC. For every preschooler who dies from drowning, there is an estimated 6 to 10 additional hospitalizations for near drowning. Residential swimming pools are involved in nearly half of all drowning and near-drowning incidents among preschoolers. The majority of drowning incidents in residential swimming pools are predictable and preventable events that can be avoided by restricting access to the pool area and by ensuring direct adult supervision. In the event that an incident does occur, the Lifesaving for Backyard Pool Owners course was designed to offer basic, low risk water rescue training to individuals who spend time around the water, but may not know how to swim or have weak swimming skills.
