Did you know? - Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4. - Each year, over 4,000 lives are lost to drowning. - For every fatal drowning, 8 more lives are impacted by non-fatal incidents. But we can change this! Formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by a staggering 88%. The Every Child a Swimmer program is proud to partner with Florida TaxWatch to help create a safer future for children everywhere. Together, we’re building a generation of swimmers and saving lives. #SavingLives #SwimLessonsSaveLives #ChildSafety #DrowningPrevention #Partnerships #MissionDriven #LegislationMatters #Parenting #SwimToSurvive #Advocacy #MakingADifference

The Reality of Drowning: As many of you know, Casey McGovern’s (the Executive Director of ECAS) mission is deeply personal. Every year, 4,000 lives are tragically lost to drowning, a 100% preventable tragedy. And for every life lost, there are more than 30,000 non-fatal drownings that leave lasting scars. These images reflect the harsh truth: the aftermath of drowning doesn’t just leave an empty seat at the table. It leaves a void that never truly heals. The trauma ripples out, impacting not only the family, but also friends, neighbors, and anyone who fought to save or help that child. Edna Mae, Casey’s daughter, was not buried in a traditional grave. Instead, Casey and her husband, Shannon, planted a memorial tree in a park where Edna Mae spent many joyful days playing with her playgroup. This tree stands as a symbol of her life—a life taken too soon—but also as a testament to why we do the work we do. This is why the Every Child a Swimmer program is so vital. We provide access to quality swim lessons, ensuring that every child has the skills to be safe in the water and can exit the water unassisted. We advocate for stronger water safety legislation to protect every child from preventable tragedies. Together, we can change these horrific statistics and create a generation of swimmers. #EveryChildASwimmer #WaterSafety #EndDrowning #SaveLives #PreventableTragedy #savinglives #missiondriven #movetheneedle #advocacy #generosity #grateful #ripple #trauma #child #parenting #wecandobetter

Looking back at an unforgettable evening we spent last spring at the International Swimming Hall of Fame Pool for our Donor Appreciation Event! Under the stars, we shared a night of great food, drinks, and a spectacular diving exhibition, all in celebration of the incredible generosity that fuels our mission. It was a night of connection, gratitude, and unforgettable moments with those who make everything possible. 💙 We can’t wait to host another thank-you event soon and continue to build on the amazing relationships we’ve cultivated. Until then, enjoy this look back at a truly special night! #FlashbackFriday #DonorAppreciation #Grateful #CommunitySupport #ISHA #MakingWaves #Swimming #DivingExhibition #UnderTheStars #thankyou Thank you to those that attended this event, we missed those that couldn’t attend. @aquaworx_usa @ellietsmart @goldfishswimschool @aquachampsswim @mfgskimlite @ishof_museum @aquacal_heat_pumps @hornerxpress_ @team_horner @aquablisspools

Throwback Thursday Today, we honor the incredible legacy of Judge G. Harold Martin, the visionary behind the Every Child a Swimmer initiative.

We are deeply grateful for his passion and leadership, and we proudly carry forward his vision to provide every child the opportunity to learn the vital skill of swimming.
