For the first time in decades, the number of drowning deaths in the United States is on the rise. Researchers say part of the reason for the spike is the pandemic when many pools were closed.
More than 4,000 people die from unintentional drowning in the U.S. every year, an average of 11 people per day. The problem is especially serious in children between the ages of 1 and 4, in whom drowning is the single leading cause of death.
