Key Points

This resolution officially supports World Drowning Prevention Day on July 25. It aims to raise awareness about how to stop people from drowning in the United States and around the world.
Drowning is a major problem that causes over 2.5 million deaths every ten years. It is one of the top causes of death for children and young people between the ages of 1 and 24.
The resolution highlights simple ways to save lives, like teaching children how to swim, putting up fences around water, and training people in CPR. It also suggests better rules for boats and ferries.
Most drowning deaths happen in lower-income countries, but the resolution notes that minority groups in wealthier countries are also at high risk. It encourages governments to work together to create better safety laws and invest in prevention.
