Playing in and around water can be a fun family activity — but it can also be deadly. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for young children. Help reduce childhood drowning by being aware of the potential risks and prevent unsupervised access to bodies of water. Drowning prevention is everyone's responsibility, and you can help. We encourage you to never swim alone. Please see the short video below provided by the Orange County Fire Authority and visit the OCFA website for additional resources.
