States like Georgia have specific laws regarding swimming pools to protect people and especially children from what is known as “an attractive nuisance.” The CDC says that drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children from 1 to 4 years old.To prevent drownings from occurring, pool owners must erect a tall fence. They must also rig alarms for any home windows that open up to the inside of this fenced area. All children swimming in the pool must be supervised by an adult.If your child was injured or nearly drowned in someone’s pool, take the child for a medical exam, and file an incident report with local law enforcement.
