The Facts

● In 2004, there were 3,308 unintentional drownings in the United States, an average of nine people per day

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

● 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

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