The Drowning Prevention Coalition of El Paso each year hosts Drowning Prevention Week as a way to reach out to area school students, teachers and parents about the importance of water safety, learning to swim and the importance of these three simple yet powerful words, “Respect the Water”. The week culminates with May Day Hands Only CPR with the El Paso Fire Department and the Fire Training Academy at Ascarate Park.

The Drowning Prevention Coalition of El Paso will host Drowning Prevention in May emphasizing water safety and drowning prevention tips to elementary students in area schools as the swim season gets into high gear.
