Did you know that drowning is the number one cause of death for children ages 1–4 in the U.S. and remains a leading cause of death for older children and adults? Or that over half (55%) of U.S. adults have never taken a swim lesson? Swim lessons have been shown to reduce the risk of drowning by 88%, giving parents a greater peace of mind and helping children become safer in and around all kinds of water. That’s why we’ve partnered with the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), a leading organization dedicated to preventing drowning through education, advocacy, and innovation. Together, we’re working to expand water safety awareness and reduce drowning, one swim lesson at a time.

Drowning remains the leading cause of injury-related death for children ages 1–4, and yet, it’s one of the most preventable tragedies. Swim lessons alone can reduce the risk of drowning by up to 88%, making them a critical tool for every family. Beyond that, developing strong swimming techniques can empower swimmers of all ages to navigate water safely and confidently.
For the littlest swimmers, supervision is key. Even small amounts of water can pose a risk, so constant attention and instilling good habits early is essential.
