According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of injury and death for children ages 1-4. Tony Guillory, associate director of aquatics for the YMCA of Greater Houston, said the YMCA has responded to these incidents by increasing the number of swimming classes offered to all ages.

"Drowning is the second leading cause of death in children under the age of 14 in Texas, and it can be 100% preventable ... [with] formal swim lessons," he said.
