Why is it important for children and adults to learn how to swim?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 4,500 people drowned each year in the United States. That is an average of 11 drowning deaths per day. More children ages 1-4 die from drowning than any other cause of death. Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 5-14. Water Safety and the the teaching of life skills such as swimming is important in helping change these statistics.
