Why Drown Initiative - Keeping Everyone Safe in the Water

Life Skills For Kids

Why Drown Initiative—a water safety initiative that nurtures a love for swimming and water safety knowledge in children who might otherwise may not have the opportunity to learn. Why Drown Initiative offers free swim lessons, water safety instruction, and CPR training to youth in our community. 

The Why Drown Initiative exists to empower families with water safety education, CPR instruction, trauma awareness, and swim readiness skills. We provide children with life jackets, families with rescue tools, and communities with knowledge that saves lives.

Our vision is a community where every family has the confidence, tools, and knowledge to prevent drowning, protect loved ones, and enjoy the water safely. Through education, resources, and collaboration, the Why Drown Initiative strives to create a future with fewer tragedies and stronger, safer families.
