The Long Island Drowning Prevention Task Force, a chapter of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance, is introducing an educational, on-line drowning prevention elementary school curriculum that is followed up by a fun, interactive character assembly.
Using the Safer 3 System, our mission is to educate every child, their parents/caregivers, and teachers about the dangers associated with all open bodies of water and how to be prepared and react - Safer Kids, Safer Water, Safer Response. We aim to help put an end to needless child-related drowning or non-fatal drowning events.
Drowning is Preventable.
Last year Middle Country, William Floyd, and Kings Park elementary schools all took part in our amazing water safety Safer 3 curriculum and character assembly.
To learn more about the program, see our water safety, water SMART informative booklets and vist our website at www.LIDPTF.org. You can also email us at lidptf@optonline.net.
