According to the Texas Drowning Prevention Alliance, drowning is the NUMBER ONE cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1- 4 and a leading cause for ages 1-14. Yet, drowning is preventable. More than 50% of drowning victims treated in emergency departments require hospitalization or transfer for
further care (compared to a hospitalization rate of 6% for
unintentional injuries). These nonfatal drowning injuries can cause
severe brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities such
as memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of
basic functioning.
