Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for young children ages 1 to 4 in Florida.
Over 110 children fatally drowned in the state during recent peak years.
Most young children drown in residential swimming pools.
Drownings also happen in open water like lakes, rivers, canals, and the ocean, as well as bathtubs and buckets.
Over 80% of fatal child drownings happen during non-swim times, such as when a child wanders outside unexpectedly during a brief distraction.
