CPR is a critical skill that can save lives in emergencies. It’s not just about keeping the heart beating—it ensures vital organs like the brain get the oxygen they need until help arrives.

Why CPR Matters

Emergencies can occur anytime. Without immediate CPR, lives are at risk. CPR maintains blood flow to vital organs until help arrives, improving survival rates. At Njswim, we emphasize the importance of CPR training for parents, caregivers, and community members to create a safer environment for everyone.
