Updated Case Studies

Recently, the case studies section of our website has been updated.  See it here: http://www.ymcalifeguard.org/case-studies.  Unfortunately, spring is a time when we see an increase in the number of drownings and near-drownings.  Let's use these strories as a way to learn and build.  Drownings are classified under accidental death, which means they are preventable.  We have worked hard over the last few years to increase our standards and safety practices.  Now let's do what we can to help people outside of the YMCA.  Headguards and myself will be looking for people with ideas, initiative, or the drive to help others and to prevent drownings.  Tell us how you think we can help our community and start to put a dent in the number of drownings that occur every year.
