Kylie’s Swim School
Byam Place Uxbridge, ON, Canada

Welcome to National Drowning Prevention Week (NDPW)! The goal of NDPW is to focus community and media attention on the drowning problem and drowning prevention,... and to learn how to keep you and your family safe. Over 400 Canadians drown every year. In Ontario, 756 people drowned from 2013 to 2017 (the most recent available data). In almost every case, drowning was preventable!
