One in four drowning deaths are among childrenunder the age of five and almost half of drowning victims are under 29(1), Drowning is also a development issue, makingdrowning prevention critical to achieving manySustainable Development Goals (SDGs) includingthose related to child survival, sustainability, economic More than 90% of drowning deaths occur in low- andmiddle-income countries(2), with low-income countriesbearing the greatest burden of all in terms of lives Preventing drowning is possible through evidence-informed, cost-effective and scalable solutions,supported by strong policies and legislation.Interventions like promoting supervision and safeplaces for children; installing barriers that limit waterexposure; and boosting swimming, water safety Drowning risks differs across people, places andcontexts, and depends on the interplay of three what water hazards are present(e.g. rivers, beaches, floods, or man-made the context in which people are exposed tothese hazards (e.g. for work, leisure, daily Other interventions such as training bystanders insafe rescue and resuscitation; ensuring the presenceof lifeguards; and enforcing maritime, ferry, andboating-safety regulations have broad benefits for and the specific vulnerabilities people mayhave (e.g. relating to age, health, income,education, where they live)(1).
