We know every year we will loose children. Some Quotes from the paper: Statistical modeling showed that for every 10,000 residential pools that a County has, 2.4 additional pool drowning deaths can be expected to occur over Three years. This relationship was therefore determined to be linearly correlated. Greater public health impact may be achieved by focusing drowning prevention Efforts, especially among young children, in counties with more residential pools; And thus a greater risk of pool drowning Of the 120 young children ages one to four who drowned in confirmed, single-family Residential swimming pools, 82 (68.3%) drowned in a pool at their own Home; nine (7.5%) drowned in a pool at a grandparent, uncle, or other relative’s Home; five (4.2%) drowned in a pool at a friend’s home; five (4.2%) drowned in a Pool at a neighbor’s home; and one (0.8%) each drowned in a pool at a babysitter’s Home, a summer home, or a vacation rental house. Sixteen (13.3%) drowned in a Pool at a home of another or an unspecified individual.
