The Y wants everyone to have a safe summer in and around the water.  The good news is that drowning rates for children have been on the decline in recent years.  However, drowning is still the second leading cause of unintentional injury or death among children aged 1 to 19 years, according to a study by the National Institutes of Health published in Pediatrics.  Know the facts and if your child needs practice before entering the water, sign up for swim lessons today.
