COLT CATALINA FOUNDATION

Description

Colt Walker Catalina was just 2 years old when he tragically drowned on March 21, 2010. Drowning is the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4. The Colt Catalina Foundation raises awareness for Drowning Prevention & Child Safety. Our goal is to educate the public on the importance of water safety. We provide Infant Aquatics(r) survival swim lesson scholarships around the U.S. to those in financial need. Infant Aquatics(r) is the second-largest survival swim program in the world teaching infants and young children ages 6 months through 6 years the swim-float-swim method and we are proud to be partnered with them and be their top sponsor.

In addition, we advocate parents take the other needed steps to prevent childhood drownings such as simple layers of protection like supervision, pool fences, window/door alarms, and CPR. Most importantly, we urge parents everywhere to enroll their child(ren) in survival swim lessons with the hope that they can avoid becoming yet another sobering statistic.
