Drowning is the single leading cause of death of children ages 1-4. In the U.S. drowning takes an average of 3,500-4,000 lives per year. That is an average of 10 fatal drownings per day. I was honored to facilitate the strategic planning process for the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA). NDPA’s mission is elevating awareness to educate, advocate, innovate, and equip to prevent drownings. I invite you to learn more about NDPA and its alliance partners so you too can be part of the solution to prevent drownings.
