Water safety is a cause that is very near and dear to our hearts here at Pool Scouts. Not only are we focused on cleaning and maintaining pools, but we always want to provide a safe environment for you and your family. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so essential to spread awareness about the importance of learning how to swim! National Water Safety Month was originally created by the Association of Pool &amp; Spa Professionals to raise awareness about water safety and to help everyone have safe, fun experiences in and around the water.<\/p>\n<h3>POOL CLEANING WITH A CAUSE \u2013 HOPE FLOATS PARTNERSHIP<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-160587\" src=\"https:\/\/poolscouts.com\/northdallas-parkcities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2022\/04\/Hope_Floats-Swim-It-Forward-1024x265.png\" alt=\"Hope Floats logo\" width=\"350\" height=\"90\" \/>According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages four and under. Last year, in\u00a0hopes\u00a0of reducing the number of drowning deaths and eliminating this statistic, Pool Scouts franchisees partnered with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopefloats.foundation\/\"><strong>Hope\u00a0Floats\u00a0Foundation<\/strong>\u00a0<\/a>to raise money to put towards swim lessons for underprivileged children who might not otherwise have had the opportunity to learn to swim.\u00a0This year, Pool Scouts is partnering once again with\u00a0Hope\u00a0Floats\u00a0in a\u00a0fundraising\u00a0campaign. For every pool service completed in the month of May, Pool Scouts will donate $1 to go towards Hope Floats to provide scholarships to children for swim lessons in our community. We take honor in\u00a0partnering with Hope Floats\u00a0and believe their mission can help save lives in our community.<\/p>\n<h4>Did you know\u2026?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-4239\" src=\"https:\/\/poolscouts.com\/northdallas-parkcities\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2021\/12\/PS_WaterSafety_Infographic-2021.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic with drowning and water safety statistics\" width=\"570\" height=\"725\" \/><\/h4>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usaswimmingfoundation.org\/\/docs\/librariesprovider1\/mas\/safer-3-terms.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">No child is ever water safe.<\/a> The goal of swim lessons is to make children SAFER in, on, and around water.<\/li>\n<li>About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger.
