What Is “Not One More”?
Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for children ages 1–4. It happens quickly. It happens quietly. But it doesn’t have to happen.
Our Not One More event is a free, water safety experience designed for families who may not have had access to formal swim lessons. With a focus on prevention, preparation, and parent education, this initiative aims to save lives—one family at a time.
What to Expect
Be Ready, Be Safe: Together
- Begin with a brief water safety talk—parents and children together
- Children enter the pool for hands-on instruction with trained staff
- Parents remain on deck to learn critical supervision and rescue skills
Parents will learn:
- How to properly fit a life jacket
- Safe techniques to assist someone in distress
- What active supervision really looks like
What to Bring:
- Children should come ready to swim
- Parents/guardians should come ready to engage and learn
Who Should Attend
This event is designed for eligible families who:
- Care for a child who cannot yet swim
- May not otherwise have access to swim instruction
- Want to better understand how to prevent drowning

To ensure the best learning environment, pool access during the event is limited to registered participants only.
