TUCSON, Ariz. — As the weather heats up, Tucsonans are spending more time by the pool and with that comes safety concerns.The Aquatics Program Manager, TJ Johnson, said the classes are filling up so quickly, they’re currently training 40 more instructors to add on more.“Nowadays it’s really dangerous with kids and pools and they’re really tempted to jump in the water every time they see water,” said Gabriela Franco.
Franco knows the stress that comes with kids by the pool but she said she feels more confident with her daughter attending these classes.Each day focuses on a new skill. “Today was life jackets, yesterday was just watching the pool at all times when your kids are around the water and asking permission,” said instructor Kevan Didier.“Having respect for the water whether it’s during a monsoon season in a wash somewhere or here at one of our facilities seeing how far you can go in the water and how far you should go in the water,” said TJ Johnson.Faith Abercrombie is a reporter for KGUN 9.
