Water Safety

As the weather warms up and schools let out, everyone heads to the water! Whatever that looks like for you, now is the time to make sure you and your family are safe around the water. Per the CDC, unintentional drowning deaths per month nearly double from May to September when compared to the rest of the year.

You can help the USA Swimming Foundation ensure everyone has access to water safety resources and affordable swim lessons regardless of location, family history, or socioeconomic status. Visit www.usaswimming.org/donate to make a difference today!

 

USADA Reminder

It is important for all members of USA Swimming to understand their Anti-Doping responsibilities: Download USADA's Clean Sport Handbook here for information on how to successfully participate in the anti-doping program governing your sport.
