Near drownings and drownings are not to be taken lightly, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death among children under the age of 15.

Drowning is the 4th leading cause of accidental death in the United States, claiming 4,000 lives each year. (National Safety Council)

Drowning facts reported by the National Safety Council:

Every year, 5000 children under 14 are hospitalized for near-drowning accidents. Of these, up to 20% suffer from severe permanent disabilities.
The health care costs for each near-drowning event range from $75,000 for an emergency room visit to $180,000 per year for long-term care.
Over 90% of parents who lose a child to a drowning get a divorce.
For every child who drowns, four are hospitalized for a near drowning. (American Academy of Pediatrics)
In 10 states including California, Oregon, and Washington, drowning surpasses all other causes of death to children age 14 and under. Nearly all who require CPR either die or are left with a severe brain injury. (CDC) (Orange County, CA, Fire Authority)
