Our water safety content is here to be shared. You’re free to copy, print and share the text, the Water Watcher card and the home checklist for noncommercial purposes, as long as you credit Because of ADAM and link back to becauseofadam.org when you can.
Photos are different. Photos of Adam and our family, and anything that belongs to someone else, can’t be reused without our permission. Just ask.
Please don’t change our content in a way that makes it wrong or unsafe, or use it to suggest we endorse a product or business.
This isn’t medical advice
The information on this website is for general education. It doesn’t replace advice from your child’s doctor, a certified swim instructor, or a CPR or first aid class. Every child and every home is different.
In an emergency, call 911. If a child is missing, check the water first.
No safety measure, swim lesson or product can make a child drown-proof. Use as many layers of protection as you can, every time.
Links to other websites
We link to trusted organizations like the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Red Cross. We don’t control their websites and aren’t responsible for what’s on them.
Our name and logo
“Because of ADAM,” “Allies in the Drowning Awareness Movement” and our heart logo belong to our organization. Please ask before using them.
No guarantees
We work hard to keep this website accurate and up to date, but we can’t promise it’s always complete or free of mistakes. If you spot something that’s wrong, please tell us.

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed.
