August is Drowning Impact Awareness Month.
For many, drowning is a statistic. For families like C**t’s, it’s a lifelong reality.
Every year, lives are changed in an instant by a tragedy that is often silent, fast, and preventable. This month, we honor every child and family impacted by drowning by turning grief into action.
Throughout August, I’ll be sharing life-saving information about:
-Pool barriers and four-sided mesh pool fences
-Survival swim lessons
-Active adult supervision
-Water competency
-Layers of protection that save lives
C**t was just 2 years old when he drowned after accessing an unfenced backyard pool. His story reminds us why prevention matters and why one layer of protection is never enough.
If even one family chooses to install a pool fence, enroll their child in survival swim lessons, or change the way they supervise around water because of what they learn this month, then these conversations are worth having.
Join us this August as we work together to prevent drowning and protect children💜
