Are drowning incidents increasing in the UAE and what rules must pool owners follow to ensure safety?

Yes, recent tragedies across the UAE highlight a worrying rise in drowning incidents, particularly involving young children. From villa communities to inflatable tubs, any water body deeper than 300mm is regulated under Dubai Municipality’s updated safety guidelines. Pool owners must register their pools, maintain safety standards, and ensure proper supervision, especially for children under five. Contractors and manufacturers must also follow safety codes and label equipment properly. These rules aim to reduce preventable accidents and create safer environments. Do you think enough awareness is being raised about pool safety in your community?
