Swimming Accident Safety Checklist: Print & Share

June 10th, 2011. By AbiK

Each year, thousands are injured or die from swimming accidents: drowning, diving accidents resulting in brain injury, spinal injury, paralysis or death, and pool drain-related disembowelment or entrapment. As we begin the fun-in-the-sun season, we encourage you to print out our “3 D’s of Swim Safety Checklist” and go over it with your children. Unfortunately, many swim accidents occur when a swimmer thinks he’s familiar with a swimming area and becomes overconfident and lax about safety. A few brief moments to check in with and abide by safety rules can save a life. Enjoy the warm weather and please, swim safe this summer.

For easy download, printing and sharing this checklist is available on Scribd.com.
