1	1	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 603
2	2	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas joins Texans
3	3	across the state in recognizing May 2023 as National Water Safety
4	4	Month; and
5	5	WHEREAS, Many Texans seek opportunities for recreation
6	6	during the summer at the state's many lakes, rivers, beaches,
7	7	swimming pools, and water parks, and it is therefore important to
8	8	be aware of dangers that can arise from any activity involving
9	9	water; and
10	10	WHEREAS, Last year, at least 76 children in Texas died from
11	11	drowning accidents; drowning is the leading cause of accidental
12	12	death for children under the age of five, and it can occur in
13	13	almost any amount of water, making it imperative that children
14	14	are supervised when they are in or near water, whether they are
15	15	indoors or outdoors; and
16	16	WHEREAS, A number of organizations have joined together to
17	17	promote National Water Safety Month; among them are the Pool and
18	18	Hot Tub Alliance, the American Red Cross, the National Drowning
19	19	Prevention Alliance, the National Recreation and Park
20	20	Association, and the World Waterpark Association; this coalition
21	21	has worked to raise awareness of precautions that Americans can
22	22	take to stay safe when near bodies of water; these precautions
23	23	include learning swimming skills, wearing life jackets, avoiding
24	24	alcohol, learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and knowing how
25	25	to recognize the signs that someone is drowning; and
26	26	WHEREAS, National Water Safety Month promotes water-safety
27	27	precautions that can prevent accidents, save lives, and ensure
28	28	that more Texans are prepared for the dangers that they may
29	29	encounter when participating in water-based activities; now,
30	30	therefore, be it
31	31	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th
32	32	Legislature, hereby recognize May 2023 as National Water Safety
33	33	Month and encourage Texans to exercise caution and follow safety
34	34	rules when around water; and, be it further
35	35	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared to
36	36	mark this occasion.
