A Hudson Valley Swim swimming school franchise can truly be a life saver. According to pediatrician Sarah Denny, MD, FAAP, and the lead author of American Academy of Pediatrics guidance on Prevention of Drowning, “Drowning is the single leading cause of injury death for children ages 1 to 4, and it’s one of the top causes of death for teens. In the summer, children often have more access to pools, lakes and other sources of water – all of which pose a drowning risk.”

Dr. Denny’s statement is further substantiated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC states that for children ages 1 to 14, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death in the U.S. after motor vehicle crashes.

Due to these alarming statistics, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends, “All children and adults should learn to swim. Children can benefit from swimming lessons as young as age 1, but parents should gage their child’s maturity, health concerns, water exposure and readiness to determine at what age to start swimming lessons.” In addition, the AAP states that risk of drowning can be reduced by 88% if children participate in formal swimming lessons between the ages of 1-4.
