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

  • #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

The following resources are available through PPCD:
