According to the World Health Organization, in 2015, an estimated 360 000 people died from drowning, making drowning a major public health problem worldwide. In terms of prevention, WHO states that "teaching school-age children basic swimming, water safety and safe rescue skills" is a key approach for drowning prevention. [...]
