Water Safety

Take Note, Stay Afloat!

Water safety saves lives. Whether you’re wading in shallow waters or navigating strong currents, understanding the risks and preparing yourself and your Family can mean the difference between life and death.

Year after year, drowning remains a leading cause of accidental death – but so many incidents are preventable with proper education and precautions. As Soldiers, parents, leaders, and community members, let’s work together to promote water safety throughout the summer!

Protecting yourself and your friends doesn't have to be hard! Find your group and see what to know…and what to do…to stay safe this summer.
