The Rockaway Times

Pheffer Amato and NYS Assembly Speaker ‘Dive’ Into Water Safety

"The Rising Tide Effect has had tremendous success throughout Rockaway as they have taught over 800 children how to swim and educated 1,200 individuals about water safety – in part from funding Assemblywoman Pheffer Amato has allocated."


“Having Speaker Carl Heastie visit our program was a significant milestone for the Rising Tide Effect. It highlights the growing momentum for change in water safety and swimming education. It’s essential to recognize that the progress we are seeing today has been built on the steadfast dedication of champions like Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato. Her unwavering commitment to water safety over the years has laid the foundation for programs like ours to thrive and reach those in our community who need it most,” Rising Tide Effect Founder Kate Krause said.
