Experts at programs like Goldfish Swim School in Richmond remind us that preparation, not fear, is what stands between a child and catastrophe — and that the window to act is open right now.

Water safety awareness campaign ahead of Memorial Day weekend highlights drowning prevention, driving demand for swim lessons and safety equipment as summer season begins.
