Drowning Prevention
Drowning is the second leading cause of injury death among children. Drowning is often swift, silent and occurs in as little as 30 seconds. In addition to adult supervision, life jackets are an important measure all Spokane County residents can take to prevent drowning – on lakes, rivers and in swimming pools.
The Inland Northwest Drowning Prevention Coalition
is a group of community organizations and agencies working to raise awareness about water safety and reduce drowning in eastern Washington and northern Idaho. Formed in 1991, the Coalition promotes water safety with the Washington State Drowning Prevention Coalition and the Safe Kids Spokane Coalition.
