The number of children drowning in garden ponds is increasing
The number of children drowning in rivers, lakes, and canals in Britain
fell between 1988 and 1999. However, the number drowning in pools
abroad, and in garden ponds, rose significantly. Sibert and colleagues
(p 1070) state that safety organisations and holiday companies need to
improve the safety of children abroad, while garden ponds should be
covered or fenced. Detailed data on deaths by drowning also need to be
collected routinely.
