What is Kristi's Kids Lifesaver?

Three years ago, we launched our Kristi’s Kids- Be a News 4 Lifesaver campaign after we had a record number of drownings in Southern Arizona.

Last summer, the number of drownings in Tucson decreased significantly, but we’ve yet to make it through a summer without losing a child to drowning. This year, we’ve again teamed up with the Rural Metro Fire Department, Tucson FIre Department, Safe Kids, Sunshine Swim School, Pool Guard, and the American Red Cross to educate viewers on how they can prevent children from drowning.

We urge viewers to designate one adult around a pool with children, to be the Child Watcher, and to wear a Child Watcher whistle. You can get a whistle by dropping by the KVOA studios at 209 West Elm Street or at any Rural Metro Fire Department.

This year, be a News 4 Lifesaver, and help us eliminate childhood drownings.
