From raising awareness of the scale of the problem; recognizing and promoting knowledge and awareness that tested solutions exist to prevent drowning; working with local or national government to develop drowning prevention plans and policy, volunteering with drowning prevention, lifesaving or search and rescue organization, knowing how to keep ourselves and our families safe when we are in, around or on the water.
