All proceeds go to Swim 4 Braxton. Our goal is to raise awareness on water safety and prevent drownings through education. We are asking for your help by attending our walk or race or even by donating. All race profits go towards funding swimming lessons for kids, pool fence/barrier installation, and other drowning prevention tools.
Surprisingly, 58% of parents report that they don’t consider drowning a risk to their children, yet statistics show that a swimming pool is 14 times more likely to be involved in the death of a child, aged 1 — 4 years old, than a motor vehicle. In fact, while most parents worry about things like a hot stove, iron, sharp objects, a fall from tall surfaces, perhaps animals, or even a loaded gun in the house, the most dangerous thing is something that is always around us in some way: water. And the worst part is that we don’t tend to think much about this. But whether it be the toilet, sink, pool, bathtub, a puddle outside, a pot or pan, there is a constant need to protect your child from becoming a victim.
