Arkansas annually ranks high in the number of drowning deaths per 100,000 people. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention places Arkansas fifth in the most recent numbers available and the second-highest drowning rate among landlocked states. Yesterday, the Jones Center in Springdale began a program intending to make more Arkansans, especially young Arkansans, safer in the water.
