USA Swimming Announces 2023 Make A Splash Tour Dates in Five Cities<\/strong><\/p>\n

USA Swimming on Tuesday released dates and locations for the 2023 Make a Splash Tour, which will visit five cities to raise awareness about water safety.<\/p>\n

The tour, presented by Phillips 66, will be in Houston from May 1-3; Lake Charles, La., May 4-5; St. Louis and Roxana, Ill., May 14-16; and Billings, Mont., May 23-25. The 15th annual edition of the tour will include USA Swimming Foundation ambassadors Rowdy Gaines, Cullen Jones <\/strong>and Elizabeth Beisel.<\/strong> The stops will help educated children, parents, and community leaders about the importance of swimming education and drowning prevention.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Make a Splash tour is an important opportunity for us to speak loudly about the criticality of learning how to swim,\u201d USA Swimming President and CEO Tim Hinchey III<\/strong> said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cWe appreciate Phillips 66\u2019s continued support of our efforts to bring this vital message to more communities and families across America.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to work with the USA Swimming Foundation to raise awareness around water safety and teach children to swim,\u201d Phillips 66 Senior Advisor of Social Impact Courtney Meadows<\/strong> said. \u201cSafety is pivotal to Phillips 66\u2019s operations and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Drowning remains one of the leading causes of accidental death in youth. Up to 3,500 people in the U.S. drown every year, a quarter of them children aged 14 or younger. The drowning rate can be up to three times higher than the national average in ethnically diverse communities.<\/p>\n

The Make A Splash Tour has existed since 2009, with Phillips 66 as a sponsor throughout. The company has partnered with USA Swimming in 1973.<\/p>\n

The USA Swimming Foundation added a partnership with U.S. Maters Swimming for youth and adult learn-to-swim programs in 2021. Studies show that more than one-third of Americans cannot safely swim the length of the pool, and there\u2019s just a 19 percent chance that the child of a parent who doesn\u2019t know how to swim will then learn how to swim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
