It is always a privilege to connect with caregivers and educate them on how to prevent drowning. Here is a behind the scenes look at how we setup and run our table at various events.

Absolutely amazing day at Huddle up for Hope Foundation Back to School event. We spoke with and gave resources to many parents and caregivers eager to learn how to keep their kids safe around the water. Thankful for opportunities like this to educate the community on drowning prevention.

While they may look similar, there’s an important safety difference between goggles and swim masks. Masks cover the nose, while goggles do not.

In an emergency, a child may only be able to get their nose above the water for a quick breath. With a mask on, they may not have access to air. Masks can also increase aspiration risk if they fill with water and a child panics.

Another concern: masks make it harder for parents and lifeguards to read facial expressions and spot distress. They also prevent kids from practicing important nose-breathing skills that are essential for learning to swim.

Pro tip: Even if your child wears goggles, make sure they practice swimming without them sometimes so they stay calm if they unexpectedly fall into water without their gear.

Stay safe this swim season!

RECALL ALERT! Visit https://www.cpsc.gov for more info.

**This is why we say “hands on child is safest!” Never leave your child alone in the tub. These types of water tools (e.g. bathtub seats, puddle jumpers) give a false sense of safety and are actually advertised to prevent drowning. No tool or gadget or safety gear is fail proof. HANDS ON YOUR CHILD IS SAFEST!
