Swim Safe Forever is one of the founding Team members of the Parents Preventing Childhood Drowning (PPCD) project. This project is a national multi organizational project that was launched in August 2018. The mission is simple: to unify and effectively 

communicate the importance of layers of protection to prevent childhood drowning.

​

We hope to assist in uniting entities under the banner of the drowning prevention mission 

•  Non-profits

• Organizations

• Medical Professionals

• Caretakers and Parents

​

We hope to effectively communicate this message

• Drowning is the #1 cause of unintentional death in children ages 1 -4

• Drowning is Preventable

• #LayersOfProtection will prevent drownings

​

We are structured to provide this messaging to health care professionals nationwide, and provide them with a drowning prevention plan for their patients

• Maternal Hospital Wards

• Emergency Facilities
