Hello Everybody! 

Welcome back to AquaTalk! Today is our first day of our Monday Lessons Segment. 

Every Monday we will be releasing a new episode with a lesson on a topic in our industry. Some weeks I may be giving you tips on how to overcome an obstacle with your students in the water, other weeks I will teach on management topics and struggles, and more.

I would love for you to email me your questions and about what you want to learn about and what you are struggling with so I can help you and teach you, and hopefully make your experience in this industry as memorable as mine.

Today, we are talking about giving our students homework, and things they can do at home to practice their skills without being in a pool, so they can progress faster and make your life so much easier.

Email me with any topics or lessons that you want me to teach on: [email protected]

Until Next Time,

Paige

Hello Water Safety Advocates! Today we have Halle Quezada with us talking about a wonderful initiative. Halle is trying to get everyone to sign a petition that will go to HGTV and mandate that they put a pool fence around every house the renovate that has a pool. 

When I heard about this petition, I just HAD to hear her story, and it is remarkable!
