Each year, as summer begins,
the United States Lifesaving Association sponsors National Beach
Safety Week in an effort to remind beachgoers to use caution in the
aquatic environment. National Beach Safety Week begins the Monday
before Memorial Day (which is the last Monday in May) and ends seven
(7) days later on Memorial Day.
The USLA National Public
Education committee is responsible for coordinating National Beach
Safety Week through direct efforts and through the eight USLA
regions. These regions are responsible for efforts within their
area.
Regions, local chapters,
and lifeguard agencies can assist in promoting national beach
safety week by requesting that their local and state political
leaders issue a proclamation declaring National Beach Safety Week
and by sponsoring press conferences to inform the public. To
encourage political leaders to declare National Beach Safety Week,
it is best to send a
letter to the political leader, along with a sample proclamation.
We recommend that you send this letter no later than March 1 of
the year you wish to see the proclamation
