One child drowning is too many according to the author. The document states that about 20 children drown per year in Maricopa County, Arizona, though the rate has decreased by 80% over the last 20 years from 0.024% to 0.005%. The author advocates for adult supervision, barriers around pools, and CPR training to help further reduce child drownings, saying that any number above zero is too high.
