Pentair Pool, an industry-leading provider of residential and commercial pool solutions, has announced the launch of a new water safety webpage. The page, launched in partnership with the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), recognizes the organizations’ Commitment To Safer Waters Partnership — a joint effort designed to strengthen the pool industry's collective role in advancing water safety education and drowning prevention.
Drowning remains one of the leading causes of preventable death for children, and the pool industry is uniquely positioned to help change that through consistent, trusted safety messaging at every level of the customer experience. Through their partnership, Pentair Pool and the NDPA are helping raise the bar for how the pool industry approaches safety.
This includes working to unify the pool industry around a common language for safety, while empowering pool professionals to lead trusted safety conversations with the families they serve, and expand the reach of drowning prevention efforts nationwide. Together, the organizations are demonstrating what's possible when the pool industry treats safety not as an add-on, but as a shared commitment.
"Safety is of the utmost importance to the pool industry, and supporting this program is one meaningful way we can stand alongside NDPA,” says Kenneth Gregory, compliance and safety manager for Pentair Pool. “We're proud to partner with the National Drowning Prevention Alliance to help advance water safety initiatives and reinforce best practices that help protect families and communities stay safe around water. NDPA's focus on education, prevention and accountability aligns closely with our own commitment to helping the world safely and sustainably enjoy water."
As the inaugural Platinum Partner of the NDPA's Commitment to Safer Waters program, Pentair Pool is committed to demonstrating how manufacturers can create innovative pool products, while also helping to advance water safety education.
The partnership is built on the belief that manufacturers, pool professionals, retailers and safety advocates all have a role to play in creating safer aquatic environments, and that when the industry speaks with a shared voice, water safety becomes a more consistent and lasting part of the pool ownership experience.
"Pool pros are trusted to be in people's backyards, and they are trusted messengers," says Alissa Magrum, executive director of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance. "Being able to have conversations about safety in a way that shows your customers that you care about the safety of their family and sharing drowning prevention resources is how pool professionals can make an incredible impact on their clients and the communities they serve."
National Drowning Prevention Week serves as an important moment for the pool industry to align around this shared responsibility. Learn more at Pentair Pool’s Pool Safety Resources and Training page.
