Focus On South Florida: Child Drownings

Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter

Drowning is a leading cause of death among children ages one to four.

It is a particular problem here in South Florida, year-round, but even more so in the summer.

Water safety awareness can be a real lifesaver.

We focus on the efforts of a local non-profit and a South Florida mother who has become a swim safety advocate following the death of her daughter in a backyard pool some years ago.

Guests:     Meredith Troy, Pediatric Associates

                     Cassie McGovern, Swim Safety Advocate
