2:24Now PlayingNew data from the CDC shows after decades of declines, drownings are on the rise. That's why experts stress learning to swim and stay safe in the water is critical.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, right?" said Rebecca Kornas, Emergency Physician and Medical Director at AdventHealth Avista. "So if you can get in and just learn some of the basic water safety, learn how to float on your back. Even if you can't swim, some people can float. If you know to get on your back, take a deep breath and people can sit there and be a little bit more safe."
