The Pledge That Saves Lives 🤝🦦

Teach your child the Josh the Otter Water Safety Pledge! Repeat after us: "I promise to be a good son or daughter. I promise to get an adult when I go near the water. This will keep me safe like Josh the baby otter." Make it a daily affirmation before any pool or lake outing!

Old school surfing. A longtime San Diego tradition. And a great cause. 🌊

A huge thank you to OMBAC - Old Mission Beach Athletic Club for once again supporting the Prevent Drowning Foundation of San Diego through the 32nd Annual OMBAC Classic Longboard Surf Contest!

This special event brings generations together, with longtime San Diego watermen sharing a little “old school” surf culture with today’s generation—all while helping PDFSD provide more kids with access to the life-saving skill of swimming.

Thank you to OMBAC for continuing this wonderful tradition and for your longtime support of drowning prevention in our community.

And thank you to NBC 7 San Diego for coming out and sharing the story!

32 years of surfing, community and giving back. We’re grateful to be a part of it. 💙
