Many children begin summer break, families take their first dip in the backyard swimming pool, and va- cations long and short revolve around water. Unfortunately, the month of May has historically signaled the beginning of a season of drowning tragedies across the United States. Whether it's the backyard or com- munity pool, a local lake, mountain river, beach, or activity on the ocean, the danger of drowning is present whenever families spend time beside the water. The National Drowning Preven- tion Alliance (NDPA) is proud to sup- port May as National Water Safety Month, in a collaborative effort across the country, with other organizations involved in water safety, drowning pre- vention, aquatic safety, and recre- ational activities. The main goal of the National Water Safety Month campaign is to promote water safety, a central focus of the NDPA's mission as an organiza- tion. NDPA recognizes and celebrates the vital role that swimming and aquatic-related activities play in the physical and mental health, as well as quality of life of Americans, the asso- ciation stated.
