Near drowning factorsThere are at least 7 causal factors that
when one or more are in place, can result in injury or death.
I developed these after a (minor)near drowning at a 'swim at your own risk" pool. They also apply to lifeguarded pools.
Near drownings can become life threatening or life changing.
I have developed these 7 ‘unders as a simple way to recognize and reduce near drownings.
