From the salt water of Puget Sound to the fresh water of Lake Union and from pond water to pool water, there are numerous places to go in Washington to enjoy water-related activities.
Enjoyment can quickly change to injury if high-risk factors are present, such as:
- Alcohol and/or drug use
- Inexperienced operators and/or swimmers
- Defective or poorly maintained equipment
- Hazardous environment
- Careless or reckless behavior
Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that more than 3,000 people drowned in the U.S. during 2007 — an average of 10 per day.

Boat Injury and Death
Boating, swimming, water-skiing and jumping waves with personal watercraft are some of the most popular recreational activities in Washington. Sometimes, people are not aware of the high risk of carbon monoxide poisoning while swimming near or trailing behind a motorboat. Just a few breaths of fumes around boat platforms can compromise swimming ability. Drivers and passengers can die if the boat's exhaust outlets become blocked and toxic fumes fill the cabin and cockpit area.
