Water Safety Day Events
Every day, approximately 10 people die from unintentional drowning. Of these, two are children age 14 or younger.
The working committee of the OC Drowning Prevention Task Force in partnership with Stop Drowning Now and Supervisor Wagner is pleased to announce the 2021 free Water Safety Challenge! This drive-through event is open to all Orange County residents at multiple Orange County locations.
The Water Safety Challenge was developed by Stop Drowning Now and is an fun, interactive and comprehensive water safety day designed to teach children important water safety, such as how to do a safe water rescue, how to properly use life vests, how to swim to the side and importantly helps parents identify their child’s particular strengths and weaknesses in the pool.
This year, we may be dry but our volunteers are ready to deliver the same crucial safety information to their community.
