Drowning is one of the 10 leading causes of death for children and young people across the world, a World Health Organization (WHO) report reveals.
The global survey suggests it claims more than 372,000 lives each year - with children under five most at risk.
WHO officials say it is a hidden childhood killer, leading to more deaths among under-15s than tuberculosis or measles in 2012.
They say more needs to be done to tackle this preventable loss of life.
Teach your kids to swim, and always watch them around water, be it the bathtub or a pool.
