Pentair Supports National Water Safety Month as Program Sponsor

(Alexandria, Va.)—The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance is pleased to announce that Pentair is continuing to support National Water Safety Month (NWSM) as the 2022 Program Sponsor. As Program Sponsor, Pentair will play a key role in raising awareness of water safety and highlighting the importance of public education regarding safer practices for children and adults in and around water.

NWSM is an annual month-long event that occurs in May and is supported by thousands of aquatics facilities and professionals through educational programs, public service announcements, government proclamations, dealer and aquatics business promotions, and the distribution of water safety materials, designed to help prevent water-related fatalities, illnesses, and injuries.

“Pentair is honored to continue to support National Water Safety Month again this year,” says De’Mon Wiggins, President – Pool Business Unit at Pentair. “At Pentair, we know moments by the pool can only be magical, wonder-filled, and fun when experienced safely. That’s why we are committed as an organization to promoting water safety awareness not only during National Water Safety Month but always.”

“Pentair’s many years of commitment to National Water Safety Month and safe swimming practices means so much to us,” says PHTA President and CEO Sabeena Hickman, CAE. “As an industry leader, Pentair has an amazing platform to share important messaging about water safety and the fact that swim lessons save lives. Reaching more people means preventing more unintentional drownings, something everyone in our industry can support.”
