Too often, first responders hear people say, “I only turned my back for a few seconds.”
Sadly, just a few seconds is all it takes for a child to drown. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for children under age four in Arizona. Most children drown in their own pools, but many children drown in canals,
buckets, toilets, bathtubs and ponds. Near-drowning calls are also tragic.
Near-drownings can cause permanent brain damage. Drowning and near-drowning can be prevented! Anyone involved with young children needs to be aware of this tragedy.
