“…Systematic public health surveillance and prevention of drowning incidents in these emerging drowning hazards, which have been known to occur (Consumer Product Safety Commission, 2005, 2008C. Thomas, personal communication, November 16, 2004), are therefore needed, especially for young children, who often drown unnoticed during a momentary lapse in adult supervision (Liller et al, 1993;Nichter & Everett, 1989;Ragan et al, 2007, November;Rowe, Arango, & Allington, 1977). Given the perennial risk of unintentional drowning in Florida, especially to young children, a minimum level of public awareness to be vigilant around all drowning hazards, particularly residential swimming pools, should be sustained year-round if possible (Calder & Clay, 1990;Liller et al, 1993;Mulligan et al, 2007;Nichter & Everett, 1989;Ragan et al, 2007, November;Rowe, Arango, & Allington, 1977).…”
