100 percent of drownings are preventable. Chandler Aquatics, Chandler Fire, and Chandler Police want to know, #WaterYouDoing about it? Find the water safety resources you need to be the first line of defense and help ensure children are safe in and around water.

Turn the Tides on Drowning
Every day, about 10 people die from drowning. For children ages 1-4, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death, with rates even surpassing those of traffic accident fatalities. For every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal water-related incidents.
Drowning is a complex public health issue that requires a multifaceted prevention approach. Chandler Aquatics and Chandler Fire respond to the needs of our community by providing education, practical training programs, and initiatives essential to promote the safety and well-being of our children.
