Online, September 5, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Since drowning is the leading cause of death for children under age 5 in Florida, a local pool service company, Pool Pros Inc., is taking part in a community effort to make pools safer for Southwest Florida families. The Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida and Kohl's Kids Safety Program are sponsoring a "Water Safety Fest" on Saturday, September 7, 2013. The event will be held from 10am-1pm at The Liles Hotel in Riverside Park, located at 27300 Old US 41 in Bonita Springs. Pool Pros Inc will be on hand distributing pool safety information, as well as showcasing various pool safety devices.
"We consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to provide pools and beautiful outdoor environments for families in Southwest Florida," said Joe Mitchell, Owner of Pool Pros. "However, we also feel a sense of responsibility to ensure that we help these families stay safe in and around the water. Our goal is to encourage parents and guardians to educate themselves about pool safety and learn how to keep everyone safe while enjoying the fun a swimming pool can bring."
In addition to safety information, Pool Pros will also be passing out "Pool Watcher Lanyards." These are given to the person assigned at functions to watch the pool and the children in it.
The Water Safety Fest event will also include:
* Hands-on water safety demonstrations with certified lifeguards
* Numerous vendors around the park providing drowning prevention strategies and tips for keeping children safe in and around the water
