Last year, the National Drowning Prevention Alliance’s data indicated a loss equivalent to 10 school buses, a deeply concerning statistic.
What's even more distressing is that NDPA's most recent data now shows that we lose the equivalent of 11 school buses full of children to fatal unintentional drownings each year in the US. According to the CDC, for every 1 fatal child drowning, another 7-8 children are seen in emergency departments for non-fatal drownings.
It's an alarming trend, but together with NDPA, we can make a difference. Water safety education and proactive measures are now more vital than ever.
Drowning is preventable! In recognition of this, let’s make sure your child isn’t part of this statistic. Come swim with us at SwimGuru!
