“Internationally, the World Health Organization estimates drowning is one of the top five causes of death for people ages 1-14 in 48 of the 85 countries it monitors around the globe. Swimming is a vital life-saving skill, and research shows that the risk of drowning can be reduced by 88% if children participate in formal swimming lessons between the ages of 1 and 4,” a news release said.
A formal swimming lesson will be held at the Wave Pool in Knott’s Soak City on June 20. Those interested can register for the event here.
