Drowning Prevention

Drowning is a leading cause of death for children four and under and a second leading cause of accidental death for children 15 and younger. However children who learn to swim are 88 percent less likely to drown than those who do not. The Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation awards grants to swim lesson providers, such as YMCAs, Boys and Girls Clubs, camps serving low-income families, and local recreation departments, to provide free or low cost swim lessons to children from families who may otherwise not be able to afford them. We also provide funding to help support lifeguard trainings. The foundation primarily make grants in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Florida.
The Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation also works with partners, such as children's hospitals, fire departments, schools and youth-serving organizations, throughout the country who utilize our Stewie the Duck books in their drowning prevention efforts.
