In 2011, Pool Safely partnerships expanded with many more organizations joining the campaign to send safety messages and host events supporting the Pool Safely campaign. In addition to a variety of activities, our partners created some very useful online videos to educate children, families and anyone who is interested in safety around all bodies of water. The following are just some of these new and exciting resources:

 

The Home Safety Council (HSC) (many materials are available in English and Spanish)

Safe Kids Worldwide

National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA)

  • See the Education video and two Public Service Announcements both on the homepage for backyard pool safety tips
