The mission is to educate, inform, have fun, and save lives, by producing a unique, and high-quality magazine to further educate and create awareness for the general public to be involved in water safety practices in order to contribute to reduce drowning around the world and help save lives.
Water Safety Magazine is accepting articles from guest contributors. We do encourage and prefer articles be submitted using our Submit On-line Article & Photo Authorization Form or sent by e-mail to editorial(at)watersafetymagazine(dot)com . Submissions should adhere preferably to standard AP Style at all possible and preferably should be sent in a Microsoft Word/PDF e-mail attachment or just plain text in an email.

Make sure your contact information is up to date, accurate, with full name, title, company/organization (if any), and contact number clearly visible so that we can reach you by phone if necessary.
We are interested in providing fresh articles, and be an original source. But if you (the author) are interested in submitting an article or articles previously printed/published on another online news, online blog, or online type magazine site, we can certainly consider it, and the words “Reprinted with Permission” will be added.
FEATURES: One of our goals is for the magazine to provide “featured articles” that are well written, well researched, citing resources, written in an intelligent and lively voice, and compelling language that avoids the traditional informal blog-style or use of clichés and “fluff.”
