Press Release Summary: Poseidon Swimming Pools is making all employees take \"Pool
Safety in Design\" workshops. Pool safety has always been important to Poseidon but
they want a formal initiative to impress upon all employees the importance of pool
safety. The goal is to make swimming pool designs as safe as they can be to help
reduce incidents of swimming pool drowning.

Press Release Body: The weather is heating up which means that means swimming pool
season is already here. As homeowners around the country open their pools this
Memorial Day, Poseidon Pools is examining new ways to keep children safe in and
around their pools. The benefits of owning a swimming pool are countless, but
safety is an issue that must be always at the forefront. Poseidon swimming pools is
requiring every employee take swimming pool safety classes in a forum we call our
"Pool Safety in Design" initiative.

Tom Helenski, one of the owners of Poseidon Swimming Pools, recently said "We have
always made safety an important part of job training and it has always been an
important element in every swimming pool we design. We are always impressing upon
our contractors and designers about swimming pool safety as an ongoing part of on
the job training. However, this ongoing training and presence has been largely
informal."

Mr. Helenski goes on to say that "safety was always at the forefront of importance
when building and designing a swimming pool, but I want something more concrete to
show our current and potential customers that we truly do have safety in mind. Any
swimming pool designer can create an elaborate backyard oasis, but it takes a truly
skilled pool designer to couple safety with elaborate designs. The idea of 'safe'
designs is nothing new to us, but now we will have certifications to back up our
ideology."

Attending the "Pool Safety in Design" workshops will be mandatory for everyone in
the company from the swimming pool contractors to the designers to the office staff.
The idea is that the more that the contractors and the company as a whole are
formally aware of every level of safety, the more they are able to build a safe
swimming pool. We want swimming pool safety to be just as important as an elaborate
custom designed swimming pool. We feel that the yearly requirement of engaging in
the "Pool Safety in Design" classes will serve as a constant reminder of how
important swimming pool safety is to our industry.

The statistics regarding drowning are startling. Drowning is the second leading
cause of accidental death among children ages one to fourteen. Children can drown
easily drown in any body of water, even the most shallow swimming pool or hot tub.
This is why supervision is so important. A child left unsupervised even for a few
seconds can drown. But, sometimes even the most responsible parents turn their backs
for a split second on a child. In that short moment, a drowning event can occur.
This is why Poseidon Swimming Pools is working toward a safer swimming pool
environment. As a responsible swimming pool contractor, Poseidon Swimming Pools is
aware of this statistic and is optimistic that engaging in "Pool Safety in Design"
workshops will help reduce this nationwide statistic. As part of our safety first
philosophy, we have always introduced and recommend to our in ground pool buyers
products such as permanent security fencing and close circuit television that will
additionally insure the safety of your family, friends and neighbors. As part of our
new safety initiative, we will make introducing these elements to the homeowner a
more prominent part of our initial presentation.

The Poseidon Swimming Pool contractors stress that owning a swimming pool is
terrific, and at the same time, a tremendous responsibility. A swimming pool can be
life changing for a family, yet everyone must be aware of the dangers that go along
with ownership of a pool. While most pool companies prefer to steer clear of
discussing the unpleasant subject during the sale of the pool, Poseidon feels that
it is their duty. The swimming pool owner will not always be there to maintain a
level of safety around their swimming pool area. Though a watchful eye is always the
most important factor in reducing drowning, creating the safest swimming pool
atmosphere is equally important. As part of the new initiative, Poseidon Swimming
Pools will formally prove their commitment to creating swimming pool environments
that are as safe as they are breathtaking.
