Safety Around Water (SAW)

From oceans to lakes to streams to swimming pools, water is everywhere: 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in it! And while water can be an irresistible place for kids to explore, play and enjoy splashy fun, it can be risky for those who haven’t yet developed their water smarts.​

​

Golden K Kiwanis Water Safety Days

Sponsored by the Golden K Kiwanis club, Water Safety Day consists of one FREE 25 minute session designed to teach kids and their family water safety skills that help reduce the risk of drowning and build their skills and confidence in and around water.

​

A typical session includes:

  • Exercises to help kids adjust to being in the water

  • Instruction on skills that kids can use if they unexpectedly find themselves in the water and lifejacket etiquette

  • Safety topics like what to do if you see someone in the water who needs help

  • Fun activities that reinforce skills

  • Adult water safety presentation & topic discussion
