Many parents don't realize that drowning is often silent. No splashing. No yelling. No warning. That's what makes it so dangerous. Stay within arms reach when ear water.

In a water emergency, every second matters. Quick recognition, immediate action, and CPR preparedness can make a critical difference when a child is pulled from the water.

Water emergencies can happen quietly and in just seconds. Understanding the realities of drowning and staying alert around water are important parts of keeping children safe.
