About

The Pediatrician Water Safety Toolkit helps teach water safety to prevent drowning. It describes the importance of swimming as a vital skill for children. The #FirstSport campaign encourages sharing a video to raise awareness. The toolkit includes downloadable resources like posters, checklists, and educational materials in English and Spanish. Pediatricians can use these tools in their offices or share them with families and communities. There are also blogs, press releases, and media kits available to spread the message further about water safety practices and drowning prevention efforts this summer.
