April Pools Day
provides a great opportunity for local schools,
churches and other community organizations to
work together to increase public awareness of
drowning prevention. Harris County Public Health & Environmental Services (HCPHES)
is partnering with
local agencies and
organizations to promote drowning awareness
beginning:
April 1, 2009
This
webpage encourages organizations to plan and
conduct water safety awareness events during the
month of April and continue throughout the
season. On this site you will find
resources to help design an April Pools Day
event in your community.
Each facility (public and private) can plan and
host program activities in their
communities that emphasize parental/adult
supervision, water safety skills practice, life
jacket education, and “hands-on” water safety
demonstrations.

Pools Day event. In Harris County,
