Summary
Drowning claims over 300,000 lives globally each year, with children under five accounting for more than a quarter of all fatalities, according to international data. Two simple interventions—teaching basic swimming skills and installing daycare barriers near water—could prevent hundreds of thousands of child deaths by 2050, experts project. The measures are considered cost-effective and scalable, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where drowning rates are highest.
