Drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4. Research shows that 69% of drownings in children under 5 years old happens during non-swim times, when they were not expected to be in the water. Drowning is fast and silent. Awareness and prevention is key.

Young children can drown in only a few inches of water, even if they’ve had swimming instruction. Whenever your child is near water, follow these safety rules.
