With the summer swimming season now upon us, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has released 2011 television and radio public service announcements (PSAs) highlighting various water safety steps that can be taken to save a life.
In the first few months of 2011, there were 37 drownings and 38 near-drowning incidents reported by the media across America.
