  • In 2004, there were 3,308 unintentional drownings in the United States, an average of nine people per day.(CDC 2006)

    U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

  • In 2004, of all children 1-4 years old who died, 26% died from drowning (CDC 2006). Fatal drowning remains the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1 to 14 years (CDC 2005)

    U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

  • It is estimated that for each drowning death, there are 1 to 4 nonfatal submersions serious enough to result in hospitalization. Children who still require cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the time they arrive at the emergency department have a poor prognosis, with at least half of survivors suffering significant neurologic impairment.

    American Academy of Pediatrics

  • 19% of drowning deaths involving children occur in public pools with certified lifeguards present.

    Drowning Prevention Foundation

  • A swimming pool is 14 times more likely than a motor vehicle to be involved in the death of a child age 4 and under.

    Orange County California Fire Authority

  • Children under five and adolescents between the ages of 15-24 have the highest drowning rates.

    U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

  • An estimated 5,000 children ages 14 and under are hospitalized due to unintentional drowning-related incidents each year; 15 percent die in the hospital and as many as 20 percent suffer severe, permanent neurological disability.
