From the supplier: The case of a high school student who sued a public school district for negligence after he got injured in a swimming class provides lessons on risk management in physical education. While the court favored a summary disposition for the school on immunity grounds, swimming pool administrators and other school officials should take the necessary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The key is to abide by state and local health codes governing swimming pools as well as design and certification standards to make the pools safer for instructors and participants.
