NBC 6 is helping shine a light on a message every parent needs to hear: drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death among children ages 1β4 in Florida. π
The most important part? Prevention.
Swipe through for NBC 6βs water safety reminders:
β’ Never take your eyes off children near the water β no phones, no distractions.
β’ Teach children to swim from an early age and use safety barriers around pools.
β’ Learn CPR so youβre prepared to act in an emergency.
β’ Children with autism may be at greater risk of drowning, making constant supervision especially important.
At Florida Swim School, this is why we say swimming is a skill for LIFE. Water safety starts long before an emergency happens.
