Our very own PDFSD Board Member, Mary Ann Downing, was recently featured in a media segment discussing drowning prevention and pool safety following the recent above-ground pool recall.
In the interview, Mary Ann highlights the importance of constant supervision, proper barriers, and swim lessons as essential layers of protection to help keep families safe around water. This timely reminder reinforces our mission: drowning is preventable when communities have access to the right education and resources.
