Though it's not always well-publicized, drowning is one of the leading causes of death from unintentional injury, causing about 10 deaths per day in the US alone. Tragically, it often happens close to home — in 2012, 73% of the drowning deaths of children under 14 years occurred at a private residence. Fortunately, by observing basic water safety standards, many situations that can lead to drowning can be completely averted. Whether you're swimming on your own, supervising others, or making your pool safe for your family, this is knowledge you can't afford not to have.
