Q: How much water does it take for a child to drown?

A: As much as it takes to cover their nose and mouth. Usually that's 2 inches.

Baby pools might seem harmless—but when left full, they can quickly become a silent danger. More than 100 children under the age of 5 have drowned in portable kiddie pools in the US, according to CPSC data. That’s over 100 preventable tragedies.

These drownings often happen when parents or caregivers step away for just a moment. All it takes is 30 seconds.

Here’s what to do when play time is over:
• Always drain the pool immediately after use.
• Store it upright and out of reach,
• Never rely on emptying it “later”—a child can slip away from you, get in the water, and drown in just 30 seconds.
