“This is my friend's 17 year old nephew, Tanner. Yesterday he was enjoying a day at Scissortail Park with his mother and younger siblings when he noticed a person struggling in the pond. Tanner's mom said he did a quick double take then without a word he was running toward the water. She had no idea what was happening but Tanner knew someone needed him. His instincts took over and this guy saved a drowning 2 year old!!! He suffered a head injury in the process and had to have staples. Police, fire and medics responded and the child's mother cried uncontrollably with gratitude. Tanner is humble, compassionate and really does not understand how much heartbreak his actions have saved a family.” Repost this story!! We need some feel good!!! ❤ Credit: Anna Herman

Drug and alcohol use can be large contributing variables to drowning risk.

It is estimated that for every fatal drowning victim, another 5 to 10 victims receives hospital related care for non-fatal drowning injuries.

In the U.S. drowning takes an average of 3,500-4,000 lives per year. That is an average of 10 fatal drownings per day.

Swimming is the number one cause of non-fatal injuries in the USA.

Drowning is the cause of death for most boating fatalities.

No one is drown-proof and drowning doesn’t discriminate.

Learning to swim can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% for 1-4 year olds who take formal swim lessons.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for each fatal drowning incident, five more children receive emergency care for submersion injuries. Emma's Project aims to spread the message that drowning IS preventable.

Our Mission Emma's Project was formed in 2019 after four-year-old Emma Hojnacki tragically drowned in a hotel resort pool, with no lifeguards on duty or family members present. Our mission is to raise water safety awareness to prevent children from drowning.

23% of child drownings happen during a family gathering near a pool.
