Swim Safety Talks & Family Q&A Sessions
As part of our growing mission at The Brady Effect, we are working toward offering community lectures on swim safety—complete with open Q&A sessions where families can speak directly with professionals in the field.
These events will provide parents, caregivers, and community members with the knowledge, resources, and confidence to keep children—especially those on the autism spectrum—safe around water.
Why These Events Matter
Children with autism are at a significantly higher risk of drowning, often due to a combination of elopement behavior, sensory-seeking tendencies, and challenges with communication. While swim lessons and life-saving tools like life preservers are critical, knowledge is just as powerful.
Here’s how these sessions support our mission:
Education = Prevention: Families learn how to spot water dangers, implement layered safety strategies, and respond to emergencies effectively.
Professional Access: Parents and caregivers can ask questions directly to swim instructors, therapists, first responders, or safety advocates in a calm, inclusive setting.
Empowering Caregivers: We provide tools, checklists, and resources tailored to the needs of individuals on the spectrum.
Reducing Anxiety: For many families, water safety can feel overwhelming. These sessions offer clarity, community, and peace of mind.
Coming Soon
We are currently working with community partners and experts to launch our first Swim Safety Talk. Be sure to follow us on social media and subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on future dates and locations.
If you’re a professional interested in speaking at one of our events or a venue interested in hosting, please reach out—we’d love to connect!
