The Garden State Water Safety Summit is more than an event—it’s a movement. Our state’s aquatic community comes together here not just to reduce drowning, but to transform the future of water safety. Every year, we make tangible progress and spark meaningful change. This is your chance to share your story, be recognized as an innovator, and join forces with professionals from every corner of New Jersey. Whether you work in or around the water, advocate for safety, or have felt the impact of drowning personally—your voice is needed now.

Now is the moment to unite. Water safety advocacy in New Jersey is unstoppable when we break out of silos and stand together. This conference is your opportunity to speak with one powerful voice—to create momentum, forge vital connections, and drive lasting impact.

Together, we’ll tackle the lifeguard shortage and find bold new ways to reach the communities in New Jersey that need us most. Let’s set ambitious goals, break barriers, and ensure swimming truly becomes available to all—because lives depend on the action we take today.

Don’t wait—be at the forefront as we advance the New Jersey Water Safety Strategy that you helped shape. You’ll be among the first to review new approaches and help chart the next steps for our state.
