At the YMCA, we believe that water safety is a critical life skill, and we are committed to ensuring that all people, especially children, receive the education and skills they need to prevent drowning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every day, an average of ten people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children 14 years of age or younger. Studies show that children from under-served communities are five times more likely to drown than their peers. As the largest provider of health and wellness programs to children and adults across metro Atlanta, and with the support and research of a national organization, the YMCA gives children, regardless of zip code, background, or ability to pay the tools to enjoy safe experiences around water.
