POOL HAZARDS Drowning: Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1–14. Non-fatal drowning can cause brain damage resulting in learning disabilities or even permanent loss of basic functioning. Chemical injuries: Injuries linked to pool chemicals accounted for almost 5,000 emergency department visits each year. Almost half of the patients were under 18 years of age. Waterborne illness outbreaks: Outbreaks associated with pools and aquatic facilities have increased dramatically from an average of 15 a year (1993–2002) to 34 (2003–2012). A single outbreak can sicken thousands.

Lacerations: Scrapes and cuts caused by broken tiles, sharp objects in the pool or surrounding area, and poorly installed grates and filters.
