Drowning a leading cause of death in kids. These Fort Worth swim lesson schools can help
With summer vacation here, now may be a good time to invest in swim lessons for students who don’t know how to swim.

Children are not the only ones who can drown. The United States has an average of 4,000 fatal drowning deaths every year and around 8,000 nonfatal drownings.
Texas had 1.44 drowning deaths for every 100,000 people between 2018-2021, according to CDC data.
