Having a pool at home may seem like the ultimate luxury, but it can present a real danger to your safety, too. The CDC reports that 3,536 people are killed in unintentional drownings in the United States each year, many of which happen in private or public pools. The good news is that there are easy fixes to this potential hazard: put up protective fencing around your pool, use a pool cover when you’re not swimming, don’t wear loose clothing that could get caught in a filter or drain, and make sure to skip the laps when you’re under the influence.
