Swim Safe Now

This is not ok 💔

Florida has now lost 51 children to drownings this year, and each number represents a child, a family, and a tragedy that changes lives forever.

The heartbreaking reality is that many of these incidents are preventable. We must continue to build and strengthen the layers of protection that help keep children safe around water:

Constant, undistracted supervision
Pool fences with self-latching gates
Doors and windows locked and alarmed at all times
Quality Self-Rescue swim lessons
Designated Water Watchers
Remove pet doors
Dress them in bright clothing
Learning CPR

We are also seeing a growing number of drownings occur at vacation homes and short-term rentals, where families may be unfamiliar with the property and safety barriers may not be in place. Water safety must travel with us wherever we go.

As summer continues, please take a moment to review your layers of protection. Drowning can happen quickly and quietly, but together we can help prevent these tragedies.

Please think carefully before renting an Airbnb or vacation home with a pool and small children.

New place. New distractions. Unfamiliar doors, alarms, locks, and routines.

Before you unpack, check the pool barriers, door locks, alarms, and assign a dedicated water watcher.

A vacation should never end like this. 💔

The twin 5-year-old girls were found unconscious in the pool of the home the family was renting while on a trip to Florida.

Not again. 💔

We hate sharing these stories, but it’s important for parents to understand how often this happens and take action.

Please keep these children, their families, and everyone affected in your thoughts and prayers. 🙏

Every tragedy is a reminder that drowning can happen quickly and silently. Water safety matters.

Tragic update: The Osceola County Sheriff's Office said both children, 5-year-old twin girls, have died. OCSO initially said both were boys, but later corrected that information.
The family is from near Atlanta, Georgia, and was visiting Florida.

Not another one 💔😭 Please do all you can to protect your precious little ones: locks, alarms, pool fence, survival swim lessons, learn CPR and constant supervision around water 💙

A child died Wednesday after drowning in a pool in Maitland, according to the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. ⬇️🔗

'Not only do they have a privacy fence for the backyard, they have a fence for the pool specifically to keep young kids out.'

Survival swim skills are the one layer of protection children take with them everywhere they go.

Please keep this family in your prayers and keep water safety a top priority ❤️
