According to the CDC drowning is the leading cause of death for children 1 to 4 years old, and the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children 5 to 14 years old. Many drowning injuries occur in pools, spas/hot tubs, and natural water settings (e.g., lakes, rivers, or ponds). There are several actions you can take to lower your risk of drowning including:

Consider a person’s ability to swim.
Ensure barriers are in place that prevent water access.
Ensure close supervision while swimming.
Always wear a life jacket.
Avoid alcohol use.
Consider medical conditions that can increase risk.

Stay cool and hydrated during hot weather.
Older adults do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature. Check on your neighbors.
They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat.
They are more likely to take prescription medicines that affect the body's ability to control its temperature or sweat.

Manténgase fresco e hidratado durante el tiempo de calor.

Los adultos mayores no se adaptan tan bien como los jóvenes a los cambios repentinos de temperatura.

Es más probable que tengan una condición médica crónica que cambie las respuestas normales del cuerpo al calor.

También es más probable que tomen medicamentos recetados que afecten la capacidad del cuerpo para controlar la temperatura o capacidad de sudar.
