Background and Aim: One of the most important ways of spending leisure time is using swimming pools and water parks. Therefore, the current research, in order to maintain the physical and mental health of the users of these places, seeks to develop a model for water safety in swimming pools by using appropriate strategies.
Methods: The current qualitative research was conducted using the foundation data model. The statistical population was university faculty members in the department of sports management and medical sciences, officials of the sports and youth department, experts in the field of construction and equipping of sports facilities, managers and users of swimming pools in Mazandaran province, north of Iran in 2022. The non-random sampling method; and a semi-structured interview with open questions were used. The interviews continued until theoretical saturation (Interview No. 18). In order to finalize the research, validity and reliability criteria were used.
Results: After removing the similar codes, 64 concepts were identified in the field of water safety development in swimming pools, which are in two main categories of operational development (including technical measures, security measures, emergency services, health measures) and strategic development (including training and culture, preventive measures).
Conclusion: Some important recommendations in the field of developing a model for water safety in swimming pools include preventing the formation of calcareous deposits on the surface of the pool, preventing the growth of algae in the pool, having an oxygen device in swimming pools and familiarizing rescuers and lifeguards with resuscitation methods and quick connection with medical centers. |
