Summer is just around the corner, which means more children will be cooling off in the pool.

Just last weekend, a 5-year-old drowned at a downtown Orlando apartment complex.

The Orlando Police Department has yet to release more information about the young boy drowned at the roof top pool at the City View apartments, but a witness told News 13 he was standing in about three feet of water when he was found.

According to the YMCA of Central Florida a child can drown in even one inch of water.  

"In Florida, you have to get your kids trained immediately. They are going to be around the pool, at the water, at the lake and at the ocean," said Mary Gardner, parent.

It is unclear whether the young boy who drowned was wearing floaties, but safety experts recommend life jackets for children rather than floaties. They said floaties can slip off arms and inner tubes can deflate.

Those are just some of the reasons why the YMCA offers a six week safe start survival program that teaches children survival techniques both in street wear and swim clothes.

"It teaches them to turn over to float, to be safe and go toward the edge of the water body or the pool so that they can keep themselves safe around water, even in their own clothes and shoes," said Dori Madison, Chief Marketing Officer of YMCA Central Florida.  

Madison said the Y continues to work hard to save one child at a time with its unique swim programs because of Florida's staggering statistics when it comes to drowning.

Florida loses more children under age five to drowning than any other state, according to the Florida Department of Health. The Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children also found Central Florida loses 8 to 10 children per year because of drowning.  

The hospital also noted that a child will lose consciousness about two minutes after being submerged in water. In four to six minutes, irreversible brain damage will occur.

"You have to put your phone down, stop texting and take turns with other adults who are making sure their attention is on their children in the water," said Madison.                  

The Y isn't the only resource available. The Red Cross and city and county governments also offer swim lessons.
