Is it just me or is time flying by? The SEALS Swim to Survive event crew is getting the last details in place for the Lake Huron crossing. Amazing what can happen when people pull together.
The event is raising awareness about drowning prevention and will help kick off the National Drowning Prevention Week (July 19 - 27). Proceeds raised go toward the Lifesaving Society's Swim to Survive programs. Click here to watch a video about Swim to Survive programs. Wondering how to donate?

Wondering how you will know if the swim is happening, check out the website www.sealsswim.com updates will be posted 48 hours from the event date. There will also be a link to the SPOT tracker, so you can track our progress across Lake Huron, how cool is that? Wondering when the event date is, well 10 DAYS, July 19th!
With all the excitement and anxiousness I still must stress the purpose of this event is to raise awareness about drowning prevention. To connect with families and remind them to think twice, or three times, about their plans for beach days, public swims, boat rides, backyard pool parties, the list goes on and on. Be sure you know your abilities and know the dangers. Take the precautions: never swim alone, stay within arms reach, know the water conditions, take a course, wear a lifejacket. Did you know that reports show that there have been 48 drownings in Ontario already this year, 48! We can all be a part of change. Let's start making a difference. Prevention = Life
10 DAYS!
