With May being National Water Safety Month, Daland Swim School and local Stop Drowning Now High School Clubs have partnered with the national organization of Stop Drowning Now to bring awareness to the critical issue of water safety. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death in the United States for children under the age of fourteen.
The FREE event will feature a variety of organizations and experts sharing and teaching different aspects of water safety. Representatives from many local agencies will be on-hand to share their knowledge and answer questions including the Thousand Oaks Police and Fire Department, the Girl Scouts, Conejo Valley Recreation and Park District, Los Robles nurses, and the Boys and Girls Clubs.
To engage the children, we will make drowning prevention fun with puppet shows, crafts, games, bounce houses, a prize wheel, face painting and a prize wheel.
