A child can drown in less time than it takes to turn your back and speak to someone. 

For every child that drowns, four children are hospitalized for near drowning incidents. 

Drowning is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of 15. 

More than half of all drowning incidents occur in backyard swimming pools or spas. 

The majority of drowning incidents have occurred while the child's supervisor assumed the child was safely indoors.
