Drowning Prevention and Summer Safety

Summer offers lots of wonderful opportunities for families to enjoy the nice weather. It is important to remember to keep yourself and your family safe around any body of water, including pools, lakes, and the ocean. In the United States, drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1–4 years old. In Massachusetts, there are several drowning deaths each year in all age groups. Drowning can be prevented and there are steps you can take to maximize your safety. In recognition of Drowning Prevention Day, join us to learn more about drowning prevention and summer safety.
