Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury-related death in children between the ages of one and four — but drownings are 100% preventable if the proper precautions are taken.

On average, there are ten fatal drownings per day in the United States. Drownings happen in seconds and are often silent. Drowning is a leading cause of death in children, particularly between the ages of 1 and 9 years old. It’s also a leading cause of death in adolescents, who are more likely to overestimate their skills and underestimate a dangerous situation.
