Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4, the second leading cause of unintentional death for children ages 4-14, and the third leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide for all ages. Teaching children to swim, never swimming alone, and supervising your children around the pool are critical, preventative steps toward drowning prevention.
