Drowning deaths are increasing in the Houston area, prompting experts to stress the importance of water safety for families. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among children.

Local swim schools are working to address this issue. Aqua Tots, a swim school in Missouri City, aims to promote safe and confident swimmers. The school teaches the "ABCs of swimming", a framework for keeping children safe near water.

Further details on water safety and the "ABCs of swimming" are available from Aqua Tots and other local resources, providing families with information to help them stay safe this summer.
