CPSC’s Pool Safely Campaign Leader, Nikki Fleming talks with Mark Alyn providing tips for swimming at home, especially since due to ongoing public health concerns about the coronavirus, summer swim season will likely look a bit different this year. Fleming shares, “Hundreds of children die each year in pools and spas. We need to do more because drowning is still the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1-4, and the second leading cause of death for children ages 5-14. Of additional importance is the fact that minority communities continue to face unique water safety challenges with 64 percent of African-American children and 45 percent of Hispanic children possessing poor swimming ability, compared to 40 percent of Caucasian children. This puts minority children at greater risk of drowning.”

Social anxiety disorder (SAD) affects as many as 20 million Americans and is the second most commonly diagnosed anxiety disorder.1,2 A person with SAD feels symptoms of extreme anxiety or fear in certain social situations, such as meeting new people, dating, being on a job interview, answering a question in class, or making small talk to a cashier in a store or a networking event at work. Doing everyday things in front of people - such as eating or drinking in front of others or using a public restroom - also causes anxiety or fear. The person is afraid that he or she will be humiliated, judged, and rejected. SAD can significantly compromise academic, social and work life and can predispose individuals to other anxiety disorders, depression and substance use disorders.3

SAD usually starts during youth. Without treatment, social anxiety disorder can last for many years or a lifetime and prevent a person from reaching his or her full potential.
