June Meeting- Water Safety and Drowning Prevention

June 25, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm CDT

With summer heat comes water fun, and with twins or triplets that can be stressful. Drowning is the #1 cause of accidental death for children under 5 and a leading cause for ages 1-14. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for each fatal drowning incident, five more children receive emergency care for submersion injuries. While no-one is drownproof, drowning IS preventable. Come learn strategies and water safety with a volunteer from Colin's Hope. Colin’s Hope was formed in 2008 after four-year-old Colin Holst tragically drowned in a public pool, with lifeguards on duty and family members present. Their mission is to raise water safety awareness to prevent children from drowning.

Andrew Perrow is married and a father of two girls a 13 year old and a 10 year old. His girls keep him busy with swim team, band, & cheer, Andrew grew up in swim team and then later in life competed in triathlons and has completed 3 Ironmans. Andrew has worked professionally in Aquatics for 10 years and has done just about all jobs in aquatics. He has managed waterparks, multiple pools, and swim programs. He has managed over 100 staff (Lifeguards, Swim Instructor's, and management team). He also has sent teams to compete in Lifeguard Competitions at the local level. Andrew has worked with Colin's Hope for the past 5 years as a Community Ambassador doing public speaking engagements for them and as well as Athlete Ambassador doing non-competitive long distance open water swims to raise funds for Colin's Hope. His greatest joy professionally is teaching swim lessons and seeing little children who are scared of the water progress to swimming independently and comfortable in the water.
