Swim Safety

There has been a number of swimming related tragedies and instances in the news this summer. ย Accordingly, it seems appropriate to review some basic swim safety rules.

First, it is important to understand that although swimming is very enjoyable, it can also be very dangerous and even potentially fatal. ย Each year in the United States there are close to 4,000 fatal unintentional drownings. ย That equals approximately ten deaths per day!

Always obey pool rules. ย Walk, donโ€™t run, around a pool area. ย Make sure that the depth of the water is appropriate for your youngsters just learning to swim. ย Donโ€™t push or jump on others. ย You could accidentally hurt yourself or someone else leading to a water injury.

Always swim with a buddy. ย Even experienced swimmers can become tired, get muscles cramps, or get in trouble in the water. ย When people swim together they can help each other, or go for help in case of an emergency.

Know how deep the water is before you dive in. ย Pay close attention to signs that say โ€œNo Divingโ€. ย In addition, never dive into a lake or a river unless you are certain as to how deep it is.

When swimming in open water, always watch for dangerous waves or signs of riptides. ย Riptides are currents that can easily pull young children under and away from shore.

Always designate a responsible adult to watch children when they are swimming. ย Please note this applies to taking baths also! ย When adults are supervising young swimmers, they should not be distracted by other activities, such as talking on their cell phone. ย Swimming and alcohol do not mix.

Swimming can be great family fun, fitness, and recreation; but, being careless can result in tragedy. ย Please use extreme care when swimming and be sure to watch the youngsters.

Thank You for Everything

I would like to take time to thank the staff at Daggett Shuler Attorneys at Law. To Megan Youngblood for helping me get my disability started; thank you so much for everything!

Outstanding

My experience with Daggett Shuler was amazing. James Cohn was the attorney I worked with for my workersโ€™ compensation claim. He is an awesome attorney. I was injured while on the job performing my duties with a local company, and the next Monday was fired because they did not want to pay my medical bills. After going to Daggett Shuler they looked after me throughout the process. The Daggett Shuler team was outstanding in their professionalism and empathy.

I was expecting it to take years to get disability and Daggett Shuler went above and beyond to get it as quickly as possible. They got the disability awarded in 6 maybe 8 months tops. I would recommend Daggett Shuler to anyone filing a disability claim. These guys will have your back for sure!
