Drowning is a leading cause of injury-related death in children. In 2000, more than 1400 US children younger than 20 years drowned. Most (91%) of these deaths were unintentional and were not related to boating. For each drowning death, it is estimated that at least 1 to 4 children suffer a serious nonfatal submersion event, many of which leave children with permanent disabilities. Environmental strategies, such as installation of 4-sided fences around swimming pools, and behavioral strategies, such as increased supervision of children while around water, are needed to prevent these tragedies.
溺水是儿童伤害相关死亡的主要原因。2000年，美国有超过1400名20岁以下儿童溺水身亡。其中大多数（91%）死亡是意外事故，且与划船无关。据估计，每发生一起溺水死亡事件，至少有1至4名儿童会遭遇严重的非致命性溺水事件，其中许多会导致儿童终身残疾。需要采取环境策略，如在游泳池周围安装四面围栏，以及行为策略，如在儿童靠近水时加强监管，以防止这些悲剧的发生。
