[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone besides me wonder why there are so few drownings? I understand that it's silent; I see that lifeguards are usually kids (!), as in, just teenagers themselves; we're told over and over that the adults who are supposed to be watching are distracted, and yet...? I just read that 350 children under the age of 5 drown in pools each year nationwide. That's tragic, of course (every death of a child is tragic, particularly the preventable ones) but I'd expect it to be a lot higher, given all that I've read about it.[/quote] That’s just the number of deaths. Plenty of kids are fortunate enough to survive, and plenty of others live but have brain damage for life. [/quote]
