City of San Diego Proclaims May as Water Safety and Drowning Prevention Month

On May 20th, the Prevent Drowning Foundation of San Diego (PDFSD) was honored to join community leaders and partners as the City of San Diego officially proclaimed May as Water Safety and Drowning Prevention Month

The proclamation event brought together dedicated partners including San Diego Parks & Recreation, San Diego Lifeguard Services, City Pool & Beach Lifeguards, and the YMCA, all united under the shared goal of saving lives through water safety education and swim access.

Together, we’re raising awareness, expanding access to swim lessons and safety programs, and giving more children and families the tools they need to stay safe around water. Every proclamation, every lesson, and every partnership is another step toward a safer San Diego. 

PDFSD is proud to be part of this important moment—and we remain committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn how to swim, because drowning is preventable.
