Back to School, Back to Water Safety! 📚🦦

September means back to school, but water safety is a year-round lesson! Did you know over 500,000 "Josh the Baby Otter" books have been distributed worldwide? That's half a million children learning to "stay away from water unless you are with an adult." Let's make this school year the safest one yet!

To the swim instructors, coaches, and aquatic professionals: You are on the front line of drowning prevention. Many of you already incorporate the Float 4 Life curriculum into your lessons, teaching children the critical skill of rolling to their back, breathing, and kicking to safety . The Josh the Otter program is a perfect complement to your work—offering a story-based, memorable message that reinforces what you teach in the pool. Whether you read the book in class, host a Josh the Otter event, or simply share the water safety pledge, your role in this mission is invaluable.

Layer 1 of Protection: Life Jackets 🦺

A life jacket is a must for open water! The Joshua Collingsworth Memorial Foundation supports Lifejacket Loaner Stations so families can borrow them for free. Always check the fit—it should be snug and U.S. Coast Guard approved.
