Internationally, the World Health Organization estimates drowning is one of the top five causes of death for people ages 1-14 in 48 of the 85 countries it monitors around the globe. In fact, it is the single leading cause of unintended death of children ages 1-4. Swimming is a vital life-saving skill and research shows risk of drowning can be reduced by 88% if children participate in formal swimming lessons between ages 1-4.
