Why are the Lessons Important
Water safety education is essential because drowning is a leading cause of accidental death, especially among young children. Many incidents happen due to a lack of awareness, supervision, or preparedness. Learning basic water safety skills helps individuals recognize potential dangers, make safer decisions, and respond effectively in emergencies. Proper education empowers both children and adults to be more confident and responsible around water, reducing risks and promoting a safer environment for everyone.
