Austin, TX, United States, 2006/05/13 - While water safety in the outdoors remains a pressing concern, families also need to understand that a surprising number of drowning-related deaths occur indoors. A child can drown in as little as one inch of water, like cleaning buckets.

"Remember that swimming lessons do not drown-proof young children and that they should always be supervised in the water, whether or not they know how to swim." Said Don Crowley owner of Austin, Texas based AquaKnow Aquatics.
This year, in recognition of National Safe Kids Week a mock drowning event was held in Austin, Texas at Dottie Jordan Park, eight-year-old Leon Johnson played the role of a drowning person while Austin Parks and Recreation life guard instructor Tracy Abzug came to the rescue practicing her lifesaving techniques. Leon survived a near-drowning at the age of four.
This presentation was to emphasize the dangers of drowning which is the second leading accident-related killer of children 1 to 14 years of age.
Safe Kids Worldwide offers this water safety advice:
· Always watch children near water. Don't leave, even for a moment.
· Use a barrier like a fence to keep children away from pools or other bodies of water.
· Empty and turn over all water containers after you use them.
· Teach children to never run, push, or jump on others around water.
· Teach children never to swim alone.
Austin, Texas based AQUAKNOW AQUATICS provides AQUA-tic Health and Safety KNOW-ledge that will promote a lifetime filled with safe water activities.
The classes are directed and taught by Don Crowley, a University of Texas Faculty member in the Department of Kinesiology and Health Education, an American Red Cross Instructor Trainer & Volunteer and a US Swimming and Diving coach with more than 20 years of aquatic instruction experience.
