Campaign kick-off May 25th in St. Pete

FloridaSafePools.com is kicking off its new water safety campaign just in time for one of the most potentially dangerous weekends of the year for young children around backyard pools.

Each year in Florida we lose too many young children to drowning – the equivalent of FOUR preschool classrooms, an average of 74 children in each of the last 10 years. That’s 744 children in Florida who did not live to celebrate their 5th birthdays.

FloridaSafePools.com will launch its campaign May 25 at 10am at North Shore Pool, 901 N. Shore Dr. NE, St. Petersburg.  Representing children who have been lost to drowning, life rings will fill the pool, while first responders and numerous community organizations will call for extra precautions around pools this summer. ”Keeping children safe around pools is our goal, and FloridaSafePools.com is Tampa Bay’s best resource for helping parents reach that goal,” said Wendy Loomas, campaign co-chair.

Speakers will include a parent and her son, who nearly died from drowning, and a representative from FloridaSafePools.com. Available for interviews will also be representatives from Suncoast Safe Kids Coalition, All Children’s Hospital, the Pinellas Fire Chief’s Association, the Florida Swimming Pool Association, the Pool Guard Safety Foundation, and rescue personnel from throughout Pinellas County.
