Across Arizona, child drowning tragedies are painfully common.

Children are often happiest in or near water. Yet whenever a child is near water, they are at risk. Too often, Arizona’s children suffer doing what makes them happiest: swimming or playing around water. An adult guardian may be responsible for the child’s injury or death. Whether a lifeguard, resort staff member, camp counselor, boat operator, family friend or other guardian, your child should have been safe near water while in that adult’s care.

As parents, we trust other adults around our children. We often trust them to watch our children around water. Occasionally, these adults fail us and our children.

A childhood accident involving water may require life-long medical care.

Adults who own pools have a responsibility to ensure their gates or other safety features are in proper working order. These pool safety devices are not always maintained. This type of failure and failure to responsibly observe children near water should not be tolerated. Swimming pool accidents and other tragedies near water can result in drowning death or other catastrophe including some of the following injuries:

• Brain damage, often resulting from oxygen deprivation
• Disfigurement from boat propellers, jet skis, or other watercraft
• Head injuries, fractures, and broken limbs
• Spinal injury as the result of a dive or fall
