Year after year, the State of Florida loses enough children to fill 4+ classrooms of children as a result of drowning. In 2021, Florida unfortunately lost 98 children to drowning tragedies. CDC also reports that for every 1 fatality, 5 children are impacted by a non-fatal injury. Drownings are Preventable! We must work together, to combat this issue.
