📈Supervision drops just as comfort — and complacency — rises!

Summer's winding down. Drowning prevention doesn't.

As pools get less use and routines get looser, one small habit still matters: empty it when you're done.

Kiddie pools. Bathtubs. Buckets. Coolers. Any container holding water is a risk to a curious toddler — even after the pool days slow down. Children can drown in just a couple inches of water, often silently and in seconds. (CDC)

Before you walk away from any water:
🪣 Empty it
🚿 Flip it over
🔒 Store it out of reach
The season may be ending — but the habit shouldn't. 💛

Florida has now lost 80 children to drowning in 2026.

17 of those deaths have happened in July alone.

These are not just statistics. They are children whose lives ended far too soon, and families whose lives will never be the same.

Drowning remains the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4, yet it is preventable. Protection comes from layers of safety:

Constant, undistracted supervision

Self-rescue swim lessons (children can begin as early as 6 months)

Secure barriers with self-closing, self-latching gates

Locked and alarmed doors and windows leading to the pool

Remove or securely lock pet doors

Bright swimwear to help children stay visible in the water

Learn CPR and be prepared to respond in an emergency

Please don't wait until it happens to someone you love. Share this message. It could save a child's life.

Today is World Drowning Prevention Day 💙🌊

Drowning is preventable, and together we can save lives.

Take a moment today to:
💙 Learn CPR.
🛟 Always wear a properly fitted life jacket.
👀 Never leave children unattended near water—not even for a second.
🏊 Enroll children in swim lessons.
🤝 Be a Water Watcher and stay alert around pools, lakes, rivers, and beaches.

At Harlow’s Helping Hands, our mission is to honor Harlow’s legacy by helping prevent childhood drownings through education, access to life jackets, swim lessons, and water safety awareness.

Every conversation, every lesson, and every life jacket has the potential to save a life.

Join us in spreading awareness today. Together, we can create safer communities and ensure more families make it home from the water.
