Statistics reveal an unsettling increase in cases of drowning. Latest data from Spain's Integrated Water Incident Data Management System (SIFA) shows that only June has already witnessed the deaths of 13 drowning people in the first 10 days of the month.
May was a particularly deadly month, with 44 lives tragically lost to the water.
In 2024, more than 470 drownings were killed across Spain, making it the second year of aquatic lethality in the past decade.

Victims range from all ages and backgrounds, but certain patterns emerge from the data.
