Arizona summers are no joke
With triple-digit temperatures becoming the norm, pools offer a refreshing escape for families, friends, and party guests. But along with the heat comes an important reminder: pool safety isn’t optional — it’s essential.
Drownings Are Preventable — But You Have to Act
Every year, heartbreaking stories of drownings and near-misses make headlines across the state. Most of these incidents happen in just seconds — and often in homes where people thought they were safe. Whether your children are strong swimmers or you're child-free, it only takes one unsupervised moment during a party, open house, or casual visit for something to go terribly wrong.
Unattended kids, distracted adults, and open access to pools create a dangerous combination.
