California has strict laws regarding public safety around swimming pools. Private swimming pool owners and operators of public facilities must exercise reasonable care and precautions to keep the area safe for visitors and patrons, and also keep people from wandering into the pool accidently. If a pool owner or operator fails to exercise proper precautions, they may be liable in instances of injury.

Negligence

Because of the beautiful weather in California, swimming is a popular pastime. People choose to own their own pools, or visit public facilities to enjoy the weather. Owners and operators have a responsibility to those who visit their facilities to keep them safe. The pool area should be clean, and all proper safety procedures must be followed, such as a fence around the pool, non-slip pavement, or other non-slip material surrounding the pool area to minimize injuries.

Negligence may be a factor in an injury or accident if:

• A public facility is has no supervision for young children
  
• The pool is inadequately maintained
  
• There are no warning signs
  
• The pool is improperly covered or fenced

Types of Injury

Extra caution should be practiced by all those in the area of a swimming pool, but the owner or operator has the ultimate responsibility to keep visitors and patrons safe, with proper supervision, proper safety surfaces in and around the pool, and signage prominently displaying special precautions, such as no diving. Some common types of injuries that happen around a swimming pool are:

• Slip and fall accidents
  
• Drowning
  
• Head injuries, including Traumatic Brain Injury
  
• Broken and fractured bones
