In summertime America is a nation of swimmers. Home pools are fast becoming as common in backyards as on movie stars' and millionaires’ e s t a t e s. Community pools and swim clubs outnumber country clubs. Swimming is one of the healthiest of sports and should be kept that way, says Dr. L. O. Fears, Director of the Clarke-FrederickPage-Rappahannock-Warren- Page-Rappahannock-WarrenWinchester Health District.
We all know of the risk of drowning, but not everyone thinks of the danger of cuts, scrapes, concussions, fractures or electric shocks. Swimming pool accidents have become a greater problem than pool sanitation and infection, according to an authority of the American Public Health Association. Overcrowing is a common cause of accidents. So is running on the wet hard surface around the edge of the pool, where a slip and fall can have nasty results. Jumping or diving into shallow water or crowded spots can produce broken bones and cracked skulls. Placing pools within range of wires on power lines has led to tragic results. Extreme caution should be exercised with lighting equipment and electric appliances used in and abput the pool. In public pools, a qualified lifeguard should be on duty at all times the pool is open, and there should be one lifeguard for every 75 people in the pool area.
