Description

Pawter in the Water is a powerful water safety movement created to help protect children around water.  Drowning is preventable, yet it remains the leading cause of death for children ages 1-4 and the second cause of accidental death for children ages 5-14. Pawter is a curious puppy who learns and teaches 5 simple, life saving rules through playful adventures, rhyming, and repetition.  Using positive, empowering messaging, Pawter helps children build awareness before they ever enter the water, giving them tools they can remember and use in real life situations. Designed for young children and the adults who care for them, Pawter in the Water equips families with a shared language for water safety and reminds them to... BE AWARE WHEN WATER'S THERE!
