With the summer swimming season fast approaching, please join us in taking the pledge to get involved in spreading the message that Simple Steps Save Lives.
Facts:
- Drowning is the second-leading cause of death to children ages 1-4 in the United States.
- Drowning is the number one cause of death to children ages 1-4 in most southern states.
- In many cases, drowning is a silent event, without splashing or a call for help.
- In most areas of the country, the majority of child drownings occur in backyard pools & spas.
- Scientific research, engineering advancements, legislation, community outreach, and education are all necessary strategies, on the national level, to prevent drownings.
Please visit ddtech/pledge to sign the pledge and help to make pool safety and the lives of our children safer this summer.
