AquaStar Pool Products partners with Every Child a Swimmer to move the needle on water safety & drowning prevention

In launching the partnership, AquaStar donated $10,000 to support Every Child a Swimmer, a non-profit dedicated to preventing drowning incidents and raising awareness about water safety.

AquaStar Pool Products, a leader in pool equipment safety and innovation, is pleased to announce its partnership with Every Child a Swimmer to develop an essential safety handout on pool safety and drowning prevention for pool service providers. The goal of the program is to encourage pool professionals to discuss water safety and drowning prevention with pool owners.

In launching the partnership, AquaStar donated $10,000 to support Every Child a Swimmer, a non-profit dedicated to preventing drowning incidents and raising awareness about water safety. Every Child a Swimmer also supports local learn-to-swim programs with scholarships for children from financially disadvantaged families. AquaStar has agreed to fund the development of a water safety brochure designed for pool professionals to start conversations with pool owners about the importance of water safety. The brochure will be made available to pool professionals at no charge. In addition, AquaStar has committed to ongoing support of Every Child a Swimmer by donating a portion of proceeds from sales of its Pipeline Filters, Pipeline Pumps and PureStar Ozone Systems to the organization.

“Pool service professionals can play an important role in educating pool owners about drowning prevention and pool safety,” said Casey McGovern, program manager for Every Child a Swimmer. “We are so grateful to AquaStar for their support and excited to work with them to save lives.”

“AquaStar has long been an advocate for drain cover safety for all pools, not just commercial pools,” said Todd Pieri, president of AquaStar Pool Products. “We welcome the opportunity to partner with Every Child a Swimmer to get the word out to residential pool pros and help prevent drownings.”
