• Order signage to be posted at your local pool or waterfront

• Speak to someone in aquatics leadership or Parks and Recreation in your community about how you can partner with them to raise awareness this summer

• Start a conversation: Speak to the lifeguards or aquatics manager at your local pool, ask if they are aware of the dangers and what they do to prevent UHB in their facility

• Write a letter to city or state officials advocating for signage laws and legislation

• Talk to a child or adolescent about why it’s important to never play breath-holding games

• Make a contribution to UHBP - every dollar goes directly to raise awareness
