A child can drown in seconds. Doctors want more families to be prepared
medicalxpress - Doctors and others are sounding an alarm: More U.S. children have been drowning in recent years.
AI Summary: Toddlers can slip beneath the surface faster than anyone expects; clinicians are urging families to stop assuming “it won’t happen to us.” They recommend constant supervision near water, basic CPR training, secure barriers, life jackets for non-swimmers, and wider public education to prevent rapid, often silent drowning incidents. Practical steps save lives—no heroics required.
