The information on that CDC page is misleading. While the page is about children, the text that mentions the 3960 annual drowning deaths does not specify "children," and the number seems to be across all age groups. This source states ~800 children deaths/year to be children (in 2014). [0] (I am not commenting on your overall point, just that statistic.) For reference, the CDC notes annual total US children deaths (if defining "children" as <= 14) as a little over 9000 (in 2019, I think).
