For grown-ups

These games teach the basics: swim with a buddy, ask before going near water, read the beach flags, wear a life jacket that fits, escape a rip current, and “reach or throw, don’t go.” Every message comes from trusted public sources such as the American Red Cross, NOAA, the U.S. Lifesaving Association, the U.S. Coast Guard and the American Academy of Pediatrics.

These games collect nothing: no accounts, no forms, no ads and no trackers. Progress stays on this device.

Games are not a substitute for watching children around water, swim lessons, fences or life jackets.
