Honoring Drennen’s legacy by elevating lifeguard vigilance, providing free life jackets at the water, and amplifying national water‑safety advocacy.
Our mission at Drennen’s Dreams Foundation is to honor Drennen’s legacy by emphasizing the importance of high safety standards for lifeguards, pool management and aquatics facilities. We work in three areas of drowning prevention:
Since our founding in 2013, Drennen’s Dreams has spoken to over 1,500 lifeguards and pool managers about vigilance, preparation, and the vital role guards and management play in preventing drownings.
In 2023 we opened our first life jacket loaner station at Boyd Lake State Park in Colorado. Stations are stocked with jackets of all sizes and free to use for lake patrons. We continue to install new stations and teach proper fit and use.
By partnering with like‑minded organizations—including the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and the Association of Aquatic Professionals—we magnify our message nationwide and inspire others to champion drowning prevention.
