It only takes 4-6 Minuets for someone to drown. Each year, thousands of individuals lose their lives due to drowning, making it the fifth most prevalent cause of accidental death in the nation, with children being the most affected.
Drowning is a form of suffocation resulting from inhaling water, disrupting the respiratory process and depriving the heart of oxygen, ultimately leading to the cessation of bodily functions.
On average, an individual can hold their breath for approximately 30 seconds, with children having even shorter durations. Even individuals in peak physical condition with underwater emergency training typically can only hold their breath for around 2 minutes.
If submerged without resuscitation for 4 to 6 minutes, it results in brain damage and eventual death. Lifeclock is a unique timer and stat tracker for lifeguards everywhere, aimed at raising awareness, creating funding, and ensuring a safer swimming experience for the public.
