Approximately 64% of drownings occur in pools or spas, and the most heartbreaking fact is that every drowning is preventable with proper awareness and safety measures.
To help reduce drowning incidents, Premier Aquatic Services has partnered with the Safer 3 Water Safety Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives through water safety education and drowning prevention.
Safer 3 focuses on educating families about the three common elements in every drowning incident: water, people, and response. Their curriculum addresses each element through the following components:
Teaches participants how to recognize water-related risks and take preventive action based on the type of water environment.
Educates children and their parents on proper boundaries and behavior around water, including constant adult supervision while swimming.
Provides instruction on emergency response techniques and emphasizes the importance of parents learning CPR, AED usage, and basic first aid.
In addition, Safer 3 has created a school-based curriculum that teaches children essential water safety skills.
Each spring, Safer 3 hosts events at swim schools across the country to promote drowning prevention awareness and encourage safer habits around water.
Premier Aquatic Services proudly supports the mission of the Safer 3 Water Safety Foundation. We believe that every adult responsible for a child should be certified in CPR, AED use, and First Aid.
