Safety Around Water

Be Water Smart From the Start!

Annually, over 3,500 American children are treated in the emergency due to a drowning-related incident. Approximately 75% of child drownings occur because of a lapse in adult supervision of less than five minutes.

It takes less than one minute for a child to silently slip below the water's surface.
