Five evidence based layers of protection
Our mission is to lead through dry land education. By educating children at a young age, we can reach and empower parents, caregivers, individuals and communities with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to prevent drowning incidents. By understanding the layers of protection needed we can make being in, on, or near water SAFER for everyone.

Teaching water safety in the classroom just got easier. Our comprehensive, progressive curriculum suite serves every school’s needs. The Curriculum is fun and engaging. Through songs, games, stories and other hands-on, age-appropriate activities, children fully engage the mind and body. Educators can choose which activities work well for their students as well as track success rates and student engagement.
Stop Drowning Now’s Water Safety Curriculum teaches kids how to recognize drowning risks and to protect themselves and others. The Curriculum is specifically designed for young kids’ learning needs. Through an experiential approach, kids participate in the discovery and identification process, and learn preventative measures as well as emergency responses.
Together we can educate to eliminate drowning.
