The Dalton Initiative: Life Vests While Boating 🚤
Currents, low visibility, and the unknown make rivers and lakes unpredictable even for strong swimmers. The Dalton Initiative is working to protect lives through education, awareness, and life vest use! One simple layer of protection can change everything! 🌊🛟

Water safety starts with access! 🏊
The Kyriii and Tyler Initiative provides swim lesson scholarships so more children can gain confidence, skills, and safety in the water! Through swim lesson scholarships we are breaking down barriers and giving more kids (and adults) the life-saving skill of swimming!

The warm weather is finally here and that means boating and float trips. Delightful! It should also mean life jackets - worn! Life saving!

In honor of International Water Safety Day, we would love to say thanks to our incredible speakers this past week Bill O’Meria and Stephane Rebeck!

Through encouraging swim safety, the need for lifejackets, providing access to lifeguards and MOST of all sharing their stories we are able to spread the SWIM ON Mission!! 🩵

SWIM ON Foundation is sponsoring a presentation on May 14. The speaker is a friend of ours. His son, a 12 year-old competitive swimmer died in a lifeguarded pool the day after a successful swim meet. He was found in 3 1/2 feet of water by another child and it was estimated that he had been underwater for 5 to 10 minutes. Bill has a foundation that focuses on talking with lifeguards and aquatics staff about the importance of lifeguards. He has a powerful message. Bill is coming to St. Louis and will be at The Lodge in DesPeres. The presentation is free. The flyer is attached.

Who might find this helpful? Lifeguards of course! And babysitters. And parents. And grandparents. And parents and grandparents of lifeguards and babysitters.
