Water Safety USA recently released a 10-year action plan that aims to reduce drownings in the U.S.

A coalition of experts at Water Safety USA released a first-ever 10-year action plan to reduce drownings, calling the estimated 4,000 people who die by drowning a year across the country a public health crisis.

Delaware Public Media’s Kyle McKinnon spoke this week with Adam Katchmarchi – executive director of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and member of Water Safety USA – about the report and its findings.
