KNOXVILLE, Tenn. As summer approaches, water safety is at the top of most parents and swim instructors minds.
The CDC said that around 10 people die every day from unintentional drowning. Of those, two are children younger than 14. Children between 1-year-old and 4-years-old have the highest drowning rates.
There are also ways for your children to save their own lives in water. Swim instructors encourage swim lessons early in life to prepare kids to stay safe in the water.
