TAKE THE PLEDGE
An afternoon spent at a swimming pool or spa is a great way to enjoy time with the family, especially for energetic kids who love the water. Yet it's important for parents and children to always Pool Safely while they're in the water.
To Pool Safely means adopting critical water safety steps to assure that a great afternoon at the pool doesn't turn into a tragic one. Whether a family is at a residential or public pool or spa, parents and children can always take additional steps to be safe while having fun. |

Our mission is to prevent drowning through public education, access to water safety resources, and policy change. The term drowning includes non-fatal near-drownings.
Our long-term strategic vision is to reduce childhood drowning deaths and disabilities in the U.S. by 25 percent by the year 2025. According to the CDC, in 2009, 704 children ages 0-14 died from drowning in the U.S. and 5,651 suffered from nonfatal drowning submersion injuries. A 25% reduction in childhood drowning deaths and disabilities combined means 1,589 lives saved. |
