Please remember:✔️ Borrow a jacket✔️ Stay safe✔️ Return it when you’re done so others can enjoy it too!

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and helps us make a difference one life jacket at a time. 🌊☀️

⚠️ Boys are at a higher risk for drowning than girls—and the difference is significant.
Studies show that boys account for a majority of drowning incidents across childhood and adolescence, especially in open water.

Why?
• More frequent water exposure
• Higher-risk behavior and overconfidence
• Less consistent supervision in certain settings

💡 But here’s the most important part: this is preventable.
Swim lessons, life jacket use, and active supervision all reduce risk dramatically.
🛟 Water safety isn’t about fear—it’s about preparation.
