Hot summer days bring kids to pools, rivers and lakes, but those same waters can turn dangerous in seconds, especially for inexperienced swimmers.

"Most of the time when we hear a drowning call come in, it's for the little ones. It's for your toddlers. It's your babies," said Haley Hawkins, a paramedic with Arcadian Ambulance.

Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children under the age of five in Texas, according to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).
