About us

Welcome to the National Drowning Prevention Alliance's home on LinkedIn! Follow us for regular updates about layers of protection, pool safety tips, swimming safety, water safety tips, resources, industry news, and drowning news updates. Drowning is a leading cause of injury death for young children ages 1 to 4, and the fifth leading cause of unintentional injury death for people of all ages. For every child less than 15 years old who dies from drowning in a pool, another 10 receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries. Nonfatal drowning can cause brain damage that may result in long-term disabilities, including memory problems, learning disabilities, and permanent loss of basic functions. The good news is that drowning can be prevented. While rates of fatal drowning in a swimming pool vary with age, gender, and race, the highest rates are among children ages 1 to 4. Males are at higher risk than females at all ages. Our Mission: The mission of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance is to elevate awareness to educate, advocate, innovate, and equip to prevent drownings. Our Vision: A united alliance saving lives by preventing the tragedy of drowning. Our Motto: Drowning IS Preventable!
