## Resource

Florida’s drowning crisis is escalating, with this year already on track to shatter last year’s record. As the Fourth of July looms, water safety is more urgent than ever. A new law expands swim lesson vouchers to kids up to age seven and doubles funding—making lifesaving lessons more accessible for families. Stories like Giselle’s, whose baby nearly drowned, highlight why early swim training is vital. Despite increased funding, demand outpaces supply, with swim schools already helping hundreds of families. Experts stress consistency over quick fixes. With over 100 drownings last year and already half that number this year, teaching kids to swim is one of the most powerful safety tools we have.
