Did you know that drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death for children under 5?
Most of the time drowning doesn’t look or sound like it does in the movies. When 4-year-old Colin Holst drowned at a lifeguarded pool, his parents had no idea how quick and silent it could be. At Colin’s Hope, we’ve taught nearly a million families what they need to know and do to prevent a similar tragedy. We are a trusted voice for drowning prevention in Texas and beyond.
Drowning doesn’t discriminate—it affects all kinds of families.

Dedicated to ending sexual assault and abuse.

There are a variety of potential situations in which it can be beneficial for a child to know CPR. For example, a sudden health problem could happen while they are with a babysitter, a single or stay-at-home parent, a grandparent, or a teacher on a field trip. When the caretaker in these situations is the ones who faces a life-threatening emergency in which their heart or breathing has stopped, a child trained in CPR can do what is necessary until help arrives.
