Swim MDT - Task 2 - Getting to Know Water - Risks and Dangers in the Swimming Pool

Content

Every type of water has its own dangers and risks. That's why we distinguish between swimming pools, open water such as lakes and canals, and the sea.
﻿
This activity focuses on the hazards in a swimming pool. In the Netherlands, there must always be supervision in a swimming pool, but that doesn't mean visitors can do everything without dangers and risks. In every swimming pool, there are clothing and hygiene regulations and behavioral rules, such as not running on the slippery platforms around the pool. It's always crowded in a swimming pool, and people jump from the edge, diving boards, or other equipment. There's always a chance someone might jump on you. It's sometimes difficult to tell if someone is in distress or just playing. You can also be pushed into the water or encounter problems on slides or in currents.
﻿
In this workshop, you'll learn about the dangers and risks and how to prevent and mitigate them. You'll also learn what to do if something goes wrong. In the Netherlands, safety regulations in swimming pools are well etablished. As an assistant in getting acquainted with the dangers and risks in swimming pools, you'll learn what's important and be able to convey that to other migrants.
