Key Points
- This resolution seeks to name the fourth week of June as National Learn to Swim Week. It aims to remind families about the importance of water safety as summer begins and more people head to pools and beaches.
- The proposal shares data showing that drowning is the leading cause of death for children between 1 and 4 years old. It notes that about 11 people die from drowning every day in the United States, and many others suffer long term brain injuries from near drowning accidents.
- The resolution encourages the government to provide more funding for swimming lessons, especially in communities that do not have easy access to pools. It also suggests that schools should include water safety in their classes to help reach more children.
