An infant or toddler can drown in as little as one inch of water. Children ages five to 14 most often drown in swimming pools and open water, such as lakes and rivers. The best prevention for drowning and swimming accidents is adult supervision at all times , water safety training for young children, and not drinking alcohol while swimming or diving. The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians is a statewide organization representing more than 4,300 members including family physicians, family practice residents and medical students. The scope of family practice includes all ages, both sexes and every disease entity.
Family physicians provide comprehensive, continuing care to all members of the family.
