Statewide Water Safety Day
In conjunction with the American Red Cross and 4-H, this project consists of developing a sustainable program utilizing the IU campus water safety resources to reach out to surrounding communities in order to increase awareness and access to water safety training in elementary aged children in order to reduce statewide deaths by drowning. IU Aquatics assists with classroom training and school programming regarding water safety classroom training in local schools and community centers, offers free lessons to local elementary children, and promotes water safety discussions with an IU Water Safety Poster Contest. Counties involved are Lawrence, Greene, and Monroe.
