Ever wonder how you can protect swimmers from recreational water illnesses (RWIs) without restricting access and enjoyment? Like many risk management strategies, training methods for RWI prevention require a combination of equipment and design improvements, new policies, management, and education of staff to ensure the safety of patrons. In this webinar, Alison Youngblood, Vice President of Duffield Aquatics, Inc., will answer questions about RWIs such as – what types are most common, where they are found, how they are spread, who is most likely to become ill and how to prevent them? Join us and learn how to protect your community and facilities from RWIs.
