Abstract

The deathsby drowningisthe worst result that human interaction with the aquatic environment can have.The aimof this study wastostudythe safety of the indoorswimming pools inthe Region of Murcia, from the point of view of the possession of a protocol in case of accident.26 swimming pools were surveyed. Following the revision of the legislation, an interview was prepared in order to gather information on the human and materialresourcesavailable to facilitate an intervention in the event of an incident.It is compulsoryfor the swimming pools to have aself-control protocol of the facility in which to collect the measures available for the safety of it. 19.23% of the swimmingpools surveyed did not have an accident procedure. The main conclusion is that there is no obligation to have a protocol of action in the event of an accident, and it is necessary to create a protocol that covers the greatest number of situations and establishesthe coordination between staff and rescue actions to be carried out
