Drowning is the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury deaths among Canadian children under 10 years of age. Drowning is fast and silent, often occurring in ...less than 30 seconds. It is critical that parents and caregivers watch their children while they are in the water and not be distracted - watch your child not your phone. #NDPW2019
