The mission of the Courageous Float Foundation is to provide access to drowning prevention education. We believe this can be achieved by providing training and essential resources to children that may not have access to these resources otherwise.
Courageous Float Foundation was founded by Mittie Owens in early 2023. Mittie saw a desperate need for bringing water safety skills and information to the families of Arkansas. There are over 2000 named lakes in Arkansas, and with every lake season comes risks and unfortunately tragedies. Courageous Float Foundation is Mittie's way to help families in Arkansas and beyond take lifesaving measures to protect their children and families.
Drowning is a serious public health problem. Drowning can happen in seconds and is often silent. It can happen to anyone, any time there is access to water. Drowning is preventable.
Drowning is the leading cause of death for children 1 to 4 years old.
Never leave your child unattended around water. We know it sounds strict, but there is no room for compromise on this one. Babies can drown in as little as one inch of water.
Children in baby bath seats must be watched every second. They can slip out of bath seats, fall out of baby tubs, or tip forward or sideways into the water and drown in seconds.
Keep toilet lids closed and use toilet seat locks to prevent drowning. Keep doors to bathrooms and laundry rooms closed.
Empty all tubs, buckets, containers and wading pools immediately after use. Store them upside down and out of children's reach.
When using inflatable or portable pools remember to empty them immediately after use. Store them upside down and out of children's reach. These types of pools can pose a drowning risk.

Mittie's Lessons have given me such peace as a mom of five children. Knowing that your children have the skills to help rescue themselves in any situation is something that is truly priceless.
