However, data from Singapore\u2019s hospitals tells a different story. Research on child drownings shows that a staggering 83 percent of drowning incidents involving children occur in swimming pools. Surprisingly, only 2 percent of children who drowned in private pools were seen first by a lifeguard.<\/p><p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">According to the KKH Child Injury Surveillance Report 2024, this should raise alarms for all parents. Even more startling is that 86 percent of drowning victims in Singapore are aged 7 and under, which is the age group that many families often think is too young for swimming lessons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2696270 elementor-toc--minimized-on-tablet elementor-widget elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"2696270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;No headings were found on this page.&quot;,&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;],&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;bullets&quot;,&quot;icon&quot;:{&quot;value&quot;:&quot;fas fa-dna&quot;,&quot;library&quot;:&quot;fa-solid&quot;,&quot;rendered_tag&quot;:&quot;&lt;svg class=\\&quot;e-font-icon-svg e-fas-dna\\&quot;

This is a significant detail that might surprise many parents who often worry much more about beach outings than about the community pool they visit regularly.<\/p><p>A tragic example underscores this issue.

In private pools, families are the primary safety net; only 2 percent of children were identified first by a lifeguard. This is because many private and condominium pools in Singapore don\u2019t have lifeguards on duty at all.
