Safety around water
Drowning is the second-leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children age 1 to 14. More than 1,500 children and teens die every year in the U.S. from drowning. In Washington state, an average of 25 children and teens drown every year. Most of them are swimming, boating or just playing in or near water.
This summer, all five YMCA of Snohomish County family branches are offering five safety instructional sessions for $10. Sessions take place June 17-21 at the Everett and Mill Creek YMCAs and June 24-28 at the Marysville, Monroe and Mukilteo YMCAs. For more information, go to www.ymca-snoco.org/splash.
