oxnard firefightes foundation raises funds in order to assist with water and ocean safety education for approximately 500 to 800 'at risk' children in the city of oxnard. Water and ocean safety education is an issue that we as firefighters have identified as a serious and long-standing issue that needs to be addressed in the city of oxnard. The aftermath of drownings and submersion injuries to oxnard's citizens, particularly its youth, is something that we have seen all too often and are committed to preventing. There are a number of ways to reduce these injuries and deaths, and we have chosen to focus on swimming education as the primary method. Learning to swim is more than a recreational opportunity; it is a critical life-skill that can radically change a young person's life.
