Welcome to TAETI's aquatic training resources hub. Here you'll find monthly drowning prevention reports, links to national prevention partners, and tools to help aquatic professionals build safer pool programs. Our resources are designed for swim instructors, facility managers, and community advocates committed to reducing drowning incidents across the United States. TAETI tracks drownings nationwide and shares all data at no charge to support nonprofit and advocacy organizations.
All drowning data and reports are provided FREE of charge — part of TAETI's nonprofit mission.
According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 1–4. TAETI's resources help communities address this preventable crisis with actionable data and training.
Our monthly drowning reports compile incident data from across the U.S., helping aquatic professionals identify trends, allocate resources, and implement evidence-based prevention strategies. Reports are updated on the first of each month and are free to download.
209 fatal drowning incidents recorded in August 2026 — the lowest August in the six-year record, running 19.9% below the five-year August mean of 261. 74% of the shortfall is concentrated in lakes.
