May is Water Safety Month and Pool Safely is gearing up for a super summer with many events and activities – as are many of you! Please share your own water safety events and activities with us so we can share them on PoolSafely.gov, in upcoming issues of this newsletter and via our social media channels…

Spring has Sprung – But do you know how to Pool Safely?

The Pool Safely campaign has officially reached 50,000 Pledges and counting! Take a minute and check out this cool new video featuring many of our friends and partners. Thanks to all of you for helping us achieve this milestone.

Happy New Year! Pool Safely has already hit the ground running in 2017 and we have many exciting activities planned for the year ahead. We look forward to working with you to help make 2017 the best and safest year in the campaign’s history.

As 2016 comes to a close, I want to thank you and your organization, company or agency for everything you did to save lives in and around the water this year. One of the goals of this campaign is to unify the drowning prevention community and work together toward our common goal. Thanks to your hard work, we have come closer to reaching that goal than ever before.

Last week, the Pool Safely campaign participated in the 13th annual World Aquatic Health Conference (WAHC) in Nashville. Pool Safely was part of a panel session with other members of Water Safety USA, an alliance of which CPSC is a founding member. I had an opportunity to present and share the new Pool Safely PSA, which debuted during the 2016 Summer Olympics.
