Drowning is a serious threat. An estimated one million people
drown every year. Population projections mean that the problem is
going to get worse, especially in developing countries.
Counting victims does not save lives or reduce drowning - but
understanding the magnitude of the problem and identifying the risk
factors does allow lifesaving organizations to provide effective
prevention actions to the highest risk populations, locations and
activities.
