You Too Can Help Prevent Drowning!
Learn about Legislation Bill A-618 that will require school districts to provide instruction water safety as part of New Jersey’s Student Learning Standards for Comprehensive Health and Physical Education for grades K-12.
Introducing a water safety curriculum in our schools is a great start to give people the education and awareness needed to make good decisions in and around the water. The best way to prevent drowning is to learn how to swim.
