Ferraro reminded parents that children who are not confident swimmers should always remain within arm’s reach while in or around the water. She also encouraged families to enroll children in swim lessons, wear properly fitted life jackets, choose brightly colored swimsuits for better visibility, and learn CPR.

“We know if CPR is administered at the time of a drowning, the chance of survival increases exponentially,” Ferraro said.
