Tips to avoid Swimming Pool Injuries

To reduce the chances of having a swimming pool accident, you should use common sense but also bear these things in mind:

1. Always check that the Swimming Pool has Public Liability Insurance so if you do have a swimming pool injury you are protected
2. Check that there is a life guard on duty in case you have a swimming pool accident
3. Never swim if you are completely alone just in case you suffer swimming pool injuries
4. Never swim alone if you are outdoors
5. Pay for swimming lessons with a fully qualified instructor to reduce the chances of a swimming pool accident
6. Pay for good quality, correctly fitting goggles so you can see what is under the water
7. Watch your children at all times to avoid a swimming pool injury
8. Check the water depth before jumping or diving in. If it is shallow you could easily suffer very serious swimming pool injuries
9. Don’t run as the tiles can be slippery which can cause a swimming pool accident

100% of our Swimming Pool Injuries Claims are made on a No Win No Fee basis.
