⚠️ Please be advised: The video we’re sharing is a dramatic recreation of how fast a child can slip away and fall into a pool. It may be distressing, but it could also save a life. ⚠️

Over the weekend, Martin County Fire Rescue responded to a near‑drowning involving a 2-year-old child. Thankfully, that child’s life was saved, but the incident is a terrifying reminder of how quickly child drowning can happen.

We urge all families to ensure that every caregiver knows how to perform pediatric CPR and to review the National Drowning Prevention Alliance’s 5 Layers of Protection:

1️⃣ Install appropriate fencing and alarms around your pool.
2️⃣ Put distractions away and designate a “Water Watcher” to provide constant supervision.
3️⃣ Enroll your kids in swim lessons early. The following agencies offer FREE swim lessons in Martin County: Florida Department of Health, Martin County’s S.P.L.A.S.H. Program, Sunshine Health and the YMCA Scholarship Fund. You can find more information at the link in our bio.
4️⃣ Make sure your child has a U.S. approved and appropriately sized lifejacket, especially if they’re not the strongest swimmer yet.
5️⃣ Learn CPR and basic water rescue techniques. Martin County Fire Rescue offers FREE CPR lessons to groups. You can find more information at the link in our bio.

Drowning is the number one cause of death in children ages 1 to 4. Take these steps seriously to help keep your kids stay safe year-round.
