Episode Details

Drownings in British Columbia are surging this summer, with 39 accidental deaths already reported — a 50% jump from last year and on track to shatter records. The Lifesaving Society warns that most victims weren’t wearing life jackets, and tragic incidents like a 13-year-old falling from a paddleboard highlight the danger: drowning is the top cause of accidental death for kids, and it can happen in just a few inches of water. While lakes and rivers are hotspots, there’s hope: Surrey is offering free swim lessons for kids 3–12, and Vancouver is considering the same — because learning to swim could be the ultimate safety net.
