350 children under the age of five drown in pools each year nationwide.

The majority of the deaths occur in June, July and August; most in backyard pools.

Among unintentional injuries, drowning is the second leading cause of death to this age group after motor vehicle accidents. In some Sunbelt states such as California, Florida and Arizona, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death to children under five.
