The 4 ANNA Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing childhood drownings through proactive education, community engagement, and advocacy for higher safety standards in aquatic environments.

The foundation was established in memory of Anna Faye Trent, who tragically drowned just after her 4th birthday. It aims to prevent such tragedies by empowering families and communities with the necessary knowledge and tools for water safety.

You can support our mission in several ways: by donating, volunteering at events, participating in educational workshops, or advocating for water safety in your community. Please feel free to reach out for more information on how to join us.

Self-rescue swim lessons teach children, starting as infants, the skills to survive in the water. These lessons focus on teaching them how to float, swim to safety, and manage themselves if they find themselves in water unexpectedly.

You can sign up for self-rescue swim lessons through our scholarship program or by contacting certified instructors in your area. Links to resources and applications for scholarships are available on our website under the Float 4 ANNA section.

Guard 4 ANNA advocates for higher safety standards at pools and aquatic facilities. It involves training for lifeguards, regular safety audits, and community outreach to ensure that every aquatic environment is equipped to prevent drowning incidents.

Donations to the 4 ANNA Foundation are used to fund scholarships for swim lessons, Scholarships for Lifeguards, support community safety workshops, improve aquatic safety standards, and expand our outreach and educational programs.

Our website offers a wide range of resources on water safety, including educational materials, safety tips, and links to external sites with additional information. Visit the Learn 4 ANNA section to access these resources.
