A swimming pool and a gang of
people contain all the ingredients
for a fun time. But, syas Matt
Matthiesen, activing director of the
state Health Department’s Division
of Emergency Health Services, they
are also the ingredients for injury
and worse.
“When the gang gets together at
the swimming - pool, you can bet
there’s going to be some roughhous-
ing. It’s part of the natural order
and it’s part of the danger. Run-
ning, pushing, dunking, diving. The
buoyancy of the water gives the
ruages exhuberant behavior.
“There is always the temptation
to push someone into the water.
When that someone is not expecting
it or cannot swim, it can be a
frightening experience. Then there
is the show-off diver. He dives into
the shallow end of the pool,
attempts a dive he is not experi-
enced at, or cannonballs into a
group of swimmers. These activities
have the potential for serious or
fatal injuries,” Matthiesen said.
Matthiesen offered additional
safety tips for swimmers:
-Never swim alone. No matter
how good a swimmer you are, it
simply is too risky, whether you're

in a wide open lake or the confines
of a private swimming pool. Heart
attack, cramps, striking your head
on the bottom--there are too many
things that can go wrong. And if no
one is there to assist you...
-Take a break. This especially
applies to younger children who
seem to thrive on an endless supply
of energy. Get them out of the water
at least once every 20 or 30 minutes
for a 10-15 minute break. And such a
break means just that - no rough:
housing, playing games or other
activity.
-Keep drinking glasses and bottles
away from the pool or edge of the
beach. There’s nothing better than a
danger of serious cuts from a
broken glass must be considered.
That iced tea or lemonade will taste
as good in a styrofoam cup.
-Avoid running or shoving
matches, especially by the pool.
There’s good clean fun in a little
roughhousing,” but the swimming
pool is thot the place for such
activity. That area is usually slip-
pery from the pool water and any
running or shoving is an invitation
to a serious fall.
-Be certain that someone has a
working knowledge of artificial res-
piration. There is never a more
helpless feeling thant to be con-
fronted with an emergency requir-
ing artificial respiration, only to:
discover that no one is aware of the
proper techniques involved. A
water often disguises a case of!
severe sunburn. The water serves to.
reflect sunlight which makes the!
possibility of sunburn even more
probably. Wear a shirt or some type
of covering if you plan to remain in.
