May marks Water Safety Day & Healthy and Safe Swimming Week

Washington State Department of Health calls on swimmers to dive into safety as the forecast heats up


OLYMPIA – With warmer days underway, the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) wants to remind everyone that water safety is critical, especially this time of year, which is when most drownings occur in Washington. Lakes and rivers are cold enough to cause drownings by cold water shock, even in the strongest of swimmers.  

 "When a person submerges in cold water, the body's cold shock response can trigger an involuntary gasp causing the person to inhale water. If their head is underwater, they can drown and die within minutes,” said Alyssa Payne, Water Recreation Program public health advisor. 

Yori’s Law (House Bill 1750) designates today, May 15, as Water Safety Day in Washington. The law promotes water safety awareness and swim education. It was established in honor of Yori Tsunoda, a 3-year-old boy who drowned in Western Washington in 2018.
