More Than a Seal. It Is a Statement
This program recognizes those creating real impact in water safety.
By making this commitment, you are helping to prevent drowning, which is the single leading cause of death for children ages 1-4 and a leading cause for older children, teens and adults. But it does not have to be. The NDPA promotes the Five Layers of Protection, which include barriers, supervision, water competency, emergency preparedness, and awareness. When used together, they provide powerful protection against tragedy.
The NDPA Commitment to Safer Waters Seal Program recognizes companies and organizations that take meaningful action to prevent drowning. Whether you develop safety products, teach lifesaving skills, or advocate for change, this seal shows the public and your peers that you are actively committed to making a difference.
This is not an endorsement. It is a recognition of your leadership. By joining the program, you align your brand with a national movement to eliminate preventable drownings and promote a culture of water safety.
Choose Your Level of Commitment
Every level plays a vital role in advancing water safety awareness and action.
The NDPA Commitment to Safer Waters Seal Program offers multiple contribution levels to match your company or organization’s role and reach. Each level comes with benefits designed to highlight your leadership and elevate your visibility. From exclusive blog features and promotional placements to premium conference visibility and exclusivity in your industry category, this program ensures your efforts are seen and celebrated.
All levels receive digital recognition on the NDPA website and newsletter, as well as access to the seal for approved use.
Let your company or organization be known as a trusted force in water safety and drowning prevention.
