Supporting the designation of a "National Learn to Swim Week" beginning on the 4th Sunday in June.

This resolution states that the House of Representatives supports designating a "National Learn to Swim Week" to raise awareness of water safety and encourage families and communities to take action. It states the House's view that every child and adult in the United States should have the opportunity to learn to swim. It says federal, state, and local governments should promote access to swimming lessons, including through public funding, education efforts, and partnerships with community groups. It also says schools and youth groups should be encouraged to teach water safety, and that Congress should support the United States National Water Safety Action Plan and a national effort to track drownings and expand swim instruction. The resolution does not create a law or provide funding.
