Pool Time Safety and Drowning Prevention Dear Walkers, Thank you to those of you who joined us for Pool Time Safety and Drowning Prevention led by Dr. Lillie Hidaji on August 14, 2022 at the Mount Charleston Springs Mountain Visitors Gateway. This was our first in-person event after nearly two and a half years of running our events virtually.
