Swimming lessons are a regular part of growing up for lots of kids, especially in the summertime. They’re also a powerful way to save thousands of lives. Around the world, more than 80,000 children die tragically from drowning each year, and the highest toll is in low- and middle-income countries. This World #DrowningPreventionDay, we remember that these tragic losses are preventable, and we remain committed to life-saving measures — like these youth swim lessons in Vietnam supported by @BloombergDotOrg’s drowning prevention program since 2019 — can save lives.
