Drowning
People drown when they get too much water in their lungs. You can drown in as little as an inch or two of water. Babies can drown in a sink or bathtub. Preschoolers are most likely to drown in a swimming pool. People who have seizure disorders are also at risk in the water. Drowning can happen quickly and silently.
Drowning precautions should include
• Fences around pools
• Supervising children near any body of water, including tubs
• Not swimming or boating when under the influence of alcohol or sedatives
• Wearing life jackets when boating
• Learning CPR (NIH)
