DROWN-FREE GUAHAN TRAINING REGISTRATION NOW OPEN

PRESS RELEASE – Amphibious Aquatics announced registration is now open for spring sessions of its water safety initiative which launched in early 2024.  n an effort to combat Guam’s devastating statistic of now more than one fatal drowning a month, registration is now open for sessions via www.amphibiousguam.com. The DFG Spring sessions will again consist of two groups. One targets youth ages 5 to 17 in coordination with a parent or caregiver; the other is a separate training for adult non-swimmers 18 years and over. Held at the Hyatt Regency in Tumon on March 29, April 12 & April 19, 2025. Each 30-minute session will focus on basic water safety, developing awareness, and learning how to minimize the risks of drowning. 

The Drown-Free Guåhan (DFG) Initiative is brought to our community by Amphibious Aquatics in partnership with the Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB), Hyatt Regency Guam, Rotary Club of Tumon Bay, Bank of Guam, Cars Plus, Cycles Plus/Kawasaki, Law firm of BXB – Baumann, Xu, & Black, David Beaver and Associates of Raymond James, and with support from the KUAM Careforce, Fökai Industries, Guam Fire Department, Tano & Tasi Water Safety, Guåhan Bodyboarders, Inc. and Swim League Philippines (SLP).

“We encourage our community to take the first step towards a safer future and join us for a DFG Spring session. We look forward to increasing awareness, enhancing readiness and continuing to do our part to make Guam a safer place to live, work and visit,” said Andy Lee, Head Coach of Amphibious Aquatics. “Amphibious and our community partners continue to offer these sessions to build our community capacity and work towards a Drown-Free Guåhan.”
