Abstract	Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children. Many children have little-to-no swimming ability. Swimming lessons reduce the likelihood of childhood drowning. First aid/CPR training is very helpful. Swim safety and when to start swimming will be discussed. Importance of wearing proper swim goggles and fogging prevention will be presented along with prescribing of refractive errors for swim goggles. Case presentations of corneal ulcers and the importance of timely management and treatment will be emphasized.
