How lucky for you to have that pool growing up. I'm in so Cal for 30 years, and swim 365 DAYS A YEAR. I may live forever, being female and an active swimmer :) Everyone in the pool! Everyone in the water :) Thanks Kirk!

I only called attention to the fact so readers can continue with their own attention gathering. Growing up in California and having a pool in my backyard as a kid (along with reasons stated in my post) I'm sure I've spent my time in the water and benefited from the work of the NSPF. Everyone into the pool! Laurie,

Happy to email to you if you like. Meanwhile, why take exception with the funding from National Swimming Pool Foundation? Check THEM out. There are a non-profit who's sole focus is to protect people who go in the water, and to help more people see the benefits of what water can do to make them healthier. It's all of the good of all of us. They are the chief educator of pool operators, having trained over 200,000 to date, and the largest funding source of grants to prevent injury and illness, and to learn the science behind the health benefits of aquatics. Let's applaud them for what they do! Kirk,
