Supporting the goals and ideals of World Drowning Prevention Day.

HRES 606 is a symbolic resolution supporting World Drowning Prevention Day (observed July 25) and highlighting drowning as a global crisis. It recognizes drowning as the third-leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide, with 90% of deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries, and emphasizes preventable losses (over 2.5 million in the past decade). The resolution encourages international cooperation to adopt WHO-recommended drowning prevention strategies - like teaching water safety, installing barriers, and improving flood management - and promotes awareness through events and policy discussions. It does not create new laws or funding but formally expresses congressional support for global drowning prevention efforts.
