I haven't covered pool-related drownings too much on this blog, but (yet another) article by Dr. Joost Bierens deserves special attention. It very nicely summarizes the issue with a global perspective, outlines topics unique to the pool environment, and provides basic prevention and treatment strategies. Definitely a good read for any pool managers or any medical personnel needing additional information to share with patients and families for the upcoming summer months.
