Drowning in the U.S.

I believe, these numbers have been fairly unchanged for decades!

"
  • On average, 4,000 Americans die each year from accidental drowning.
  • More than half of adults have never taken a swimming lesson.
  • 1 in 3 Black adults don’t know how to swim compared to 1 in 7 in the general population.
  • American Indian and Alaskan Native people have the highest drowning rate, with three deaths per 100,000 people.
