Prevent drownings this Summer

With hot summer days comes an increased desire to cool off in the
region's pools, beaches, rivers, and lakes. But in 2020, as the Covid-19
pandemic pushed more people towards outdoor activities, King County
saw drowning deaths double compared to 2018. Thirty-three people lost
their lives in King County waters last year, nearly 70% of which occurred in
open water incidents and drowning continues to be the second leading
cause of unintentional injury death for children and teens. This has
continued into 2021 where King County has already seen 12 more
drownings.
Tips to stay safe when swimming this summer:
• Choose to swim where there is a lifeguard
• Wear a lifejacket
• Learn to swim and strengthen safety skills
• Steer clear of alcohol or drugs during water activities
• Be extra cautious on rivers
You can get more detailed information on these water safety tips
from King County's Public Health Insider.
