Toddler floating on back during her Safe Start drowning prevention swim lesson at the YMCA of Central Florida

Every gift to Safe Start helps protect our community’s youngest children from drowning, the leading cause of accidental death for kids under four in Central Florida. Your support provides life‑saving survival swim lessons at the Y, teaching infants and toddlers how to roll onto their backs, float, and breathe until help arrives. Together, we can give more families peace of mind and every child a safer start in and around the water.
