Hi,

As a mother, it’s difficult to get excited about warm weather without thinking of all the dangers that come with it, especially as my kids get way more physical in the summer. This year in particular has been very difficult as my sister’s daughter fell into a pool (that was covered for the winter) and sustained a concussion. She’s doing ok now, but it’s put me on a mission for pool safety. I have a pool in my yard, and it’s become my worst nightmare as I think of all the ways in which things could go wrong. As someone who’s dedicated herself to making information accessible – starting with students, but really extending through the public at large – I feel very strongly about empowering people with knowledge. I’ve been gathering resources on pool safety, which I’m sharing below. I’d like to ask you to please share these with your audience (perhaps here: {https://worldwideswimschool.com/links/}?).

Lifeguard Skills for Pool Owners http://blog.poolcenter.com/article.aspx?articleid=6478

Swimming Safety Tips http://www.safekids.org/tip/swimming-safety-tips

Parent’s Guide to First Aid https://www.acls.net/a-parents-guide-to-first-aid.htm

Guidance for Safety: The Pool and Spa Safety Act http://www.cpsc.gov//PageFiles/122216/361.pdf

Pool Safety Products Protect, Prevent, and Rehabilitate http://www.homeadvisor.com/article.show.Pool-Safety-Products-Protect-Prevent-and-Rehabilitate.14504.html

If you’d prefer I not reach out in the future, please do reply and let me know (and sorry!). However, my hope is that these resources help your audience, and that together we can make a difference.

All the best,

Jasmine
