Most Drowning Cases Involve Children
Every year in the United States, there are approximately 3,960 fatal unintentional drownings. That is an average of 11 drowning deaths per day. Children ages 1–4 have the highest drowning rates. Most drownings involving children happen in swimming pools. However, drowning can happen anytime, including when children are not expected to be near water or when they gain unsupervised access to pools.
Certain factors make drowning more likely. Barriers such as pool fencing prevent young children from gaining access to a pool area without caregivers’ awareness. A four-sided isolation fence that separates the pool area from the house and yard reduces a child’s risk of drowning by 83%.
