There are millions of swimming pools and swimmable natural bodies of water in the United States, but more than one-third of the adult population can't swim the length of a pool. About 10 people drown every day.
To help raise awareness, we have created a series of 30 second Swim Safe video PSAs. The PSAs cover topics such as the importance of learning how to swim, recognizing dangerous water and temperature conditions, avoiding rip currents, being visible, and never swimming impaired.
The PSAs are hosted by nationally-known master swimmer Tracy Grilli, our 2018 Glen Lake Swim Woman's Champion. Please feel free to use or share these videos and any of the information in our Aquatic Safety section to help promote safe open water swimming.
