Over the past two years, more than 3,800 children ages 5 to 9 at 35 Boys &amp; Girls Clubs learned about the importance of water safety through the Connecticut-based water safety advocacy and education foundation\u2019s signature ZAC Camp.<\/p>\n<p>ZAC Camp is named in honor of Zachary Archer Cohn, who was 6 when he drowned in a drain entrapment in his family\u2019s backyard swimming pool. The week-long camp teaches children the skills to be safe in and around water through in-pool swim lessons, classroom curricula and by engaging local first-responders to initiate trust between the kids and their community\u2019s protectors. For campers, many who live in underserved neighborhoods, this lesson is invaluable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs another pool season comes to a close, we want families to think of water safety as more than just a summer lesson, but as a life lesson,\u201d said Karen Cohn, Zachary\u2019s mother and co-founder of The ZAC Foundation. \u201cIt is important that no matter the weather or season, parents and children take the proper precautions and remember the ABC and Ds of water safety: adults, barriers, classes and drains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The camps have increased from 10 last year to 25 in 2014 and focused on warmer climates where drowning deaths are most prevalent, including Florida, California, Texas and Arizona. Coast to coast, campers were armed with essential tools for safe swimming, including fundamental stroke training, emergency preparedness and response, and basic life-saving techniques.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe owe a debt of gratitude to the Cohn family for the critical work they do in Zachary\u2019s memory,\u201d said BGCA President and CEO Jim Clark. \u201cThousands of Club kids will be safer in the water because they\u2019ve acquired these important skills. Equipping children with essential water safety basics, especially at a young age, can prevent needless drowning accidents that take place every day in this nation, due primarily to a lack of water-safety knowledge and skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each ZAC Camp concluded with a gold medal ceremony and Club kids went home with a goodie bag full of water safety essentials to share with friends and family, including a water watcher card to remind them of the importance of adult supervision; a ZAC Foundation water safety wristband; and a copy of the foundation\u2019s children\u2019s book, \u201cThe Polar Bear Who Couldn\u2019t, Wouldn\u2019t Swim\u201d (available in English and Spanish), as a reminder to always practice the ABC and Ds of water safety.<\/p>\n<p>The ABC and Ds of water safety are an easy way for families to remember how to stay safe in and around any body of water.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 A is for Adults: only be near water with adult supervision<br \/>\n\u00b7 B is for Barriers: barriers, such as a fence that goes around a pool, keep children safe<br \/>\n\u00b7 C is for Classes: take swimming classes to learn how to be safe in the water<br \/>\n\u00b7 D is for Drains: pool drains be dangerous to swimmers, and should be avoided while swimming<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about water safety education year round, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thezacfoundation.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.thezacfoundation.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About The ZAC Foundation<\/strong><br \/>\nThe ZAC Foundation was established in 2008 by Brian and Karen Cohn after the loss of their 6-year-old son Zachary Archer Cohn in a pool drain entrapment in their backyard swimming pool.
