This video presents these ideas and evidence, and includes the practical and political feasibility of implementing the proposed changes to laws and policies.

Jasen Kunz, JD, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggests in his Critical Opportunities presentation that the Model Aquatic Health Code provides sample evidence-based guidelines that can be adopted to help reduce rates of pool-related injuries and illness.00:04:55engAll Rights ReservedSwimming pools--Law and legislationSwimming pools--AccidentsPublic healthMoving Image
