INTRODUCTION The University of California 4-H Youth Development Program (YDP) organizes and coordinates a variety of programs, projects, and events that involve about 20,000 adult volunteers and more than 100,000 youth aged five through 19 years of age.

10 Many of these programs, projects, and events incorporate activities that take place on, in, or near water. Information given in these guidelines has been developed for use by 4-H staff and volunteers and is intended to provide initial guidance for implementing practices and procedures to reduce the risk of sustaining water-related injuries or illnesses while participating in 4-H sponsored programs, projects, and events. The Agriculture & Natural Resources (ANR) Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) Office exists to support all ANR programs, including 4-H YDP, in conducting their activities in a safe, healthy, and environmentally responsible manner. ANR EH&S staff are available to assist 4-H YDP staff and volunteers to interpret the material in these guidelines and to develop specific health and safety information, assess potential hazards, and conduct training.
