Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional deaths for children ages 1 - 9 years old.
Approximately 64% African-American; 45% Hispanic/Latino; and 40% Caucasian children cannot swim.
Drownings are preventable. No one is drown-proof. Drowning does not discriminate.
Approximately ten drownings occur per day, 320,000 per year, and 2.5 million over the last decade.
A national focal point for drowning prevention: Take Pang's water safety challenge.
Individually, we cannot save the world. However, as individuals we can do, at least, one thing to support drowning prevention. It takes only one act to save a life.
Enroll and take a friend to a CPR/First Aid class. Pay for someone else to attend a CPR/First Aid class.
Take water safety and swim lessons. It's never soon or too late to learn. Donate to a free learn to swim program. Gift swim lesson to someone else.
Volunteer for local hospitals , drowning prevention organizations, or where you are needed. Contact school administration to add this life skill to curriculum. Involve local legislators.
