#drowning remains the single leading cause of death for kids age 1-4 years. Kids are quick and impulsive and no one thing will prevent drowning. Layers of protection from swim skills to pool fences to constant supervision are necessary. What’s your #watersafetyplan??
Drowning has been the #1 cause of death for kids 1-4 for over 4 DECADES. Thanks to @InfantSwim my 15 month old nephew knows how to self rescue. It’s PAST time for the @AmerAcadPeds to care enough about kids to share life saving information with families. @DrBenHoffman, your move.
