SUMMARY: As we approach the summer season, it is crucial to prioritize water safety, especially for children aged one to four, as drowning is the leading cause of death in this age group. Adam C Marie from the National Drowning Prevention Alliance emphasizes the importance of enrolling children in swimming lessons from an early age to equip them with vital survival skills. He also encourages adults who cannot swim to start their learning journey. Recognizing the misconception of what drowning looks like, he stresses the silent and quick nature of drowning, highlighting the importance of supervision, barriers, and swim lessons to prevent accidents.

As we start to think about the summer season, it's important to be safe around water.
