Speaker Adrienne Adams emphasized the urgent need for comprehensive water safety education, stating, 'Water safety is a matter of life and death. In addition to more lifeguards and free swimming classes, we must educate New Yorkers on how to spot danger in our volatile and unpredictable waters.' This reflects a broader commitment to preventing drowning tragedies and ensuring community safety at city beaches and pools.
The City Council's effort to expand water safety initiatives includes creating an interactive map for swimming pools and potentially establishing a junior lifeguard corps, aiming at building a pipeline for new lifeguards.
