THE FILM
WHEN EVERYONE SWIMS
A DOCUMENTARY of INSPIRATIONAL SWIM JOURNEYS
Drowning is a public health issue that too few people are talking about. This film emphasizes the importance of learning how to swim and water safety.
Because we believe most drownings can be
prevented when everyone swims.
THE FACTS
• 64% of African-American, 45% of Hispanic/Latino, and
40% of Caucasian children have few to no swimming skills​
​
• Drowning is the leading cause of death among 1 to 4-year-olds
• For children ages 5 to 14, drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death after motor vehicle crashes
​
• Younger Black adolescents are more than three times as likely
to drown as their white peers
​
THE C.D.C. ESTIMATES THAT DROWNING COSTS
THE U.S. ECONOMY $53 BILLION EACH YEAR.
