No More Under was outside a Big Day of Play!! Talk about being right where we wanted to be. 😄

Shout out to Seattle Parks and Recreation for hosting and awarding us with a 2026 Recreation for All grant! Big thanks also goes to everyone who stopped by our booth. We talked with families, handed out flyers to our upcoming Seattle U Swimming program, and helped members of our community take the first step towards accessing water safety resources. 👍🏾

☝🏾 Most people don’t seek out drowning prevention information… they come across it. That’s why No More Under shows up to events like this. 💙

⚠️ If someone is struggling in the water, your first instinct may be to jump in. That instinct is how even the strongest swimmers can drown.

☝🏽 “Reach, Throw, Don’t Go” is the phrase that saves!!! 🧠

🫳🏽 Reach: Stay on land, lie down or brace yourself, and extend something long. A pool pole, an oar, a towel, a branch, even your leg if you’re anchored really well.

🫴🏽 Throw: If you can’t reach the person, throw something that floats.

A life jacket, a ring buoy, a cooler lid, a boogie board. Give them something to hold onto until help arrives!

🙅🏽‍♀️ Don’t Go: A person drowning will climb onto anything that gets close, including you.

Unless you’re a trained safety or water rescuer, going in the water can turn one emergency into two!

🚨 Take a moment to ensure that your family knows that getting help is a crucial first step and to always shout for nearby help or call local emergency services, like 9-1-1. 🩵

Together, we can stay afloat!!! 😎

What does it mean to be a Lifesaver? 🛟

Sometimes it’s the split-second decision to jump in when someone needs help. It’s also the day-to-day work that make quietly happen behind the scenes: teaching, advocating, fundraising, showing up week after week so a child never ends up in a moment where their safety isn’t a priority.

At Ripples of Hope we honor the work of all lifesavers. Take a look at our past year’s recipients and make plans to join us Saturday, September 12th at 6P on the Mercer Island Funny Farm. 🌊 Tickets are available now at our link in bio!! 💙👍🏽

🥵 Heatwaves are a water safety issue. ☝🏽

Not only is August Family Fun Month, but it’s also Summer Sun Safety Month!!! ☀️ According to the World Health Organization, heatwaves are a driver of drowning risk. More people are likely to get in a backyard pool, jump into rivers, lakes, or anywhere cool when the temps are high. Often times this is done without lifeguards, life jackets, or anyone planning to really swim that day. 🙅🏽‍♂️

Before the next heatwave, take a moment to decide who’s the assigned Water Watcher, wear a life jacket and know how/where to locate more, and stay out of unguarded or unfamiliar waters. A family that’s well prepared for the sun is guaranteed to have fun! 💙🌊

☀️ August is Family Fun Month!!! 🥳 No More Under is celebrating by sharing six helpful tips that can make any day in the water a safe one.

Swipe through to learn how we can all make a splash at the next family pool day or beach trip! ➡️

👁️ Assign a Water Watcher: A responsible and sober adult that has a working phone in case of emergency and The Water Watcher App.

Swap every 15 to 20 minutes so nobody gets tired or distracted!

🛟 Use a USCG-approved life jacket: Ensure it’s properly fitted and is the right size and weight range.

⚠️ Arm floaties and pool toys don’t count!

🏡 Install barriers: Four-sided fencing with self-closing and self-latching gates, and working alarms.

⚠️ Check them BEFORE and AFTER each swim session, not after something happens. 👍🏽

🚰 Take hydration breaks: Kids actively in the water are less than likely to recognize that they’re thirsty. Build in a hydration break every hour to keep everyone hydrated! 💦

☀️ Wear sunscreen: Reapply sunscreen every two hours and after getting out of the water. Sunburn and heat exhaustion can end the family fun really fast. 🧴

🩳 Dress kids in bright colors: Neon orange, green, and pink are colors that stay visible underwater.

⚠️ Light or dark blue and white are colors that can be difficult to spot!

Share these six helpful tips with your family and friends so we can keep the summer fun going! 😊🩵

🗣️ Today is International Lifeguard Appreciation Day!!! 🛟

To the lifeguards around the world who watch over pools, beaches, lakes, and other bodies of water, staying ready to protect us at moments notice, No More Under extends our thanks for your service! We’re especially thankful for the lifeguards who support our Swim Safely Series and serve families throughout our local communities. 💙

It’s your work and presence that serves as a basis for water safety awareness and drowning prevention, teaching us all the importance of being present and staying focused. 🏊🏽‍♂️

✨ July 25th is World Drowning Prevention Day and we have a new episode of Dive Deep with the founder of , Nathalie Martin. 🏊🏽‍♂️

This year’s theme, set by the World Health Organization (), is “Unite to turn the tide.” It’s a reminder that behind the statistics are real people, and that sharing the experiences we’ve lived through can help protect someone else. Through our founder’s () strength, has created so much profound change and is the reason why our organization exists. It’s because of partners like Nathalie that were able to amplify our shared belief and mission: Drowning is preventable when equitable access and prevention resources are within reach. 💙🌊

“Drowning is a crisis. It is a global crisis, and it needs to be addressed in that lens.”

🤔 Can you guess National Drowning Prevention Week and World Drowning Prevention Day have in common? Swipe to find out. ➡️

💡 Answer: Drowning is preventable, but only when prevention is within reach. Communities carrying the highest risk and the fewest resources continue to be overlooked and left out of the conversation.

Let’s start a ripple, right now. Like this post, comment on it, share it to your stories… through many ripples comes a big wave. 🌊 We should all be committed to creating equal swim and water access for everyone!!! 💙
