This resolution recognizes May 2025 as "National Water Safety Month" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the critical importance of water safety education and drowning prevention. The resolution draws attention to the significant role that swimming and aquatic activities play in physical and mental health, while also emphasizing the potential dangers associated with water-related activities. It references specific statistics, such as a boating accident report showing that out of 28 fatalities from 2022 to 2024, only eight individuals were wearing life jackets, and it mentions a tragic drowning incident involving a 23-year-old local resident. The resolution acknowledges the collaborative efforts of various water safety organizations, including the Pool and Hot Tub Alliance, American Red Cross, and National Drowning Prevention Alliance, who are working together to educate the public about water safety and prevent recreational water-related injuries and deaths across all age groups and settings, from private pools to public swimming facilities and water parks.
