Check out this World Drowning Prevention Day recap by @WHO! Drowning prevention is a worldwide effort and we are still in awe of the awareness raised on July 25th of this year 👏🏻
Today’s all about celebrating Colin. 🎂
The energy. The joy. The unforgettable little moments. The kid who made people smile.
Happy birthday, Colin! We’re celebrating you today and carrying your #hope forward every day!
Long weekend coming up? Add this to the plans:
“Who’s the Water Watcher?”
Five words. One clear responsibility. 👀
Tag your Water Watcher below 👇
Your lifeguard 🤝 your designated Water Watcher
Water safety works in layers.
Even when a lifeguard is present, active adult supervision still matters!
Tomorrow is World Drowning Prevention Day. 💙
Our reminder today: drowning prevention doesn’t belong to one person, organization, or profession.
It takes families. Lifeguards. Swim instructors. Educators. First responders. Communities.
It takes all of us.
The group chat can wait.
The email can wait.
The notification can wait.
When you’re the designated Water Watcher, the water gets your full attention. 👀
Normalize asking this question before anyone gets in the water:
“Who is the Water Watcher?” 👀
Not “Who’s around?”
Not “Who can see the pool?”
Not “Are we all watching?”
One designated adult. One job: actively watch the water.
Before the fireworks, before the burgers, before the first cannonball…
👀 Assign a Water Watcher
This step will make all the difference this holiday weekend. 🇺🇸
💙This weekend we remember Colin Holst & the mission his life made possible.
His life was a gift. His legacy is thousands of children & families safer around water.
Thank you for helping us turn heartbreak into hope.

Bath time reminder 🛁
No more than 2 inches of water - little lives depend on it.
The Colin’s Hope bath tub cling helps keep safety top of mind 💙
Myth: I’ll hear if something goes wrong.
Fact: Drowning is silent and can happen in only a few seconds.
That’s why constant supervision during bath time is so important - even when it feels routine.
💧 Awareness saves lives.
#bathsafety #Awareness #watersafety
📵 No phone. No distractions.
Bathtime only lasts a few minutes and so should your full attention. Staying within arm’s reach helps keep bath time safe.
Presence matters.
