Thank-you for all that you do. We met at a training in Bloomington, MN(YMCA) a couple of years back. Excited to speak with you again soon.

Andrea Salzman said… - Hi Gerald,
Thank you so much for linking to your courses and to the drowning video of Yoni. As a new mother, I wasn't even able to watch the video in its entirety.
FYI: Any of your courses that would pertain to aquatic therapy personnel (for instance the professional aquatics safety seminar), can be posted on the main page events section. You will get more "press" there. Courses like the ice rescue would not pertain so you could continue to post them on your own page (like you've already done).
Take a moment to put your events and your posting about the drowning on the main page. Just click on Public Forum and then look for the +Add Discussion link (usually top right hand corner).
And thanks again for your input.

- Thanks so much for the information on your photo!
In the spirit of generating connections between members, I though you might like to look at the Safety posting and discussion on the Forum and meet some fellow members there. Here is a link to Kristie for example.

- Hello Gerald
I'm intrigued to know what is going on on your profile photo - a rescue practice I am guessing?
I also loved your partner Donna's introduction to the website above. Thought I share it with others here ...
The Power of Water
should never be underestimated
it's beauty, strength and force.
Life cannot exist without water
it empowers us and commands respect
Be ready for it!
