Texas Swim Academy Partners with Pool Safely to Bring Pool Safety & Drowning Prevention to Houston

Jan. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Texas Swim Academy, a Katy swimming facility, has partnered with Pool Safely, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) national public education campaign to save lives in pools and spas. As a Campaign Safety Partner (CSP) for Pool Safely, Texas Swim Academy will be entrusted with the distribution of essential information, materials, and resources about the importance of pool safety and drowning prevention to parents and students in the Houston area throughout the 2015 swimming season.

To become a CSP for the Pool Safely campaign, organizations are typically national organizations with established networks and a proven track record for managing health and safety campaigns. Since its inception in 2010, partners have been a critical part of Pool Safely's effort to increase awareness of water safety, drowning prevention, and drain entrapment nationwide. CSPs have also played a significant role in the success of the campaign's Pool Safety Pledge, a commitment to water safety steps for every adult and child in America. The Pledge, launched in May 2014, encourages partners to share the Pledge with their members and communities. Over the last year, Pool Safely partners have helped the campaign generate more than 4,000 Pledge signatures from across the United States within a five-month period.

"We're honored to be a part of a nationally recognized campaign that is so dedicated to building safer environments and communities for everyone, especially children, when it comes to being in and around the water. As a swimming facility, we share the same goal; we are not only focused on teaching students how to swim, but teaching essential survival skills that could save their life," said Kathleen McMordie, owner of Texas Swim Academy.

Texas Swim Academy is dedicated to sharing the valuable water safety and drowning prevention information and resources provided by Pool Safely now and throughout the swimming season this year. The Katy swimming facility will focus on reaching the widest possible audience and building a sustainable network that will ensure the campaign's messaging and success for years to come.
