So many people today don\u2019t know how to swim, whether it\u2019s children or adults,\u201d Mayor <strong>Brad Cohen<\/strong> told NJ Advance Media. \u201cNothing happened in East Brunswick or the water in East Brunswick that made us more susceptible to drowning, it could happen anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, three members of the same family died in late June, as a mother and grandfather drowned while trying to save an 8-year-old girl who had fallen into a pool, and a young child died on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n<p>Police said none of the three people who drowned in June could swim, and the town wants to make sure that the free lessons include adults.<\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/about-us\/news-and-events\/press-release\/red-cross-launches-campaign-to-cut-drowning-in-half-in-50-cities.html\">half of all adults can\u2019t swim<\/a>, or lack basic swimming skills, according to a 2014 American Red Cross study.<\/p>\n<p>Water safety is always an issue with kids. Children between 1 and 4 years old are at the highest risk of drowning, and are most likely to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/homeandrecreationalsafety\/water-safety\/waterinjuries-factsheet.html\">drown in home swimming pools<\/a>, the Center for Disease Prevention and Control said. After car crashes, drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental death in children younger than 14.<\/p>\n<p>Cohen said he is hoping other towns follow East Brunswick\u2019s lead in water safety and also look into implementing swimming programs before tragedy strikes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Check out more water safety news <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/industry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As families flock to beaches on oceans and lakes, or stay at home in backyard pools during the summer, the dangers of the open water continue to rise and the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3915,"featured_media":316698,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[122077],"tags":[74743],"class_list":["post-439368","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas","tag-water-safety"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>Water safety: New Jersey Town Offering Free Swimming Lessons<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"New Jersey Town Offering Free Swimming Lessons After Multiple Drownings.
