Aquatic Safety Research Group is proud to offer the only national education and training program designed for beach and waterfront managers. The text, written by our own Dr. Griffiths and published by the National Recreation and Park Association, is the authoritative publication on beach management.

Our Safe Swimming Beaches seminar offers beach managers the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of beach management by comparing industry standards against daily operations of beaches from around the world.

Aquatic Safety Research Group is also proud to offer the only two nationally-recognized instructors for the Safe Swimming Beaches seminar. Both Tom Griffiths and Shawn DeRosa bring a dynamic and relaxed teaching style to the Safe Swimming Beaches seminar, and encourage maximum participation and sharing among all participants. Each participant will receive a certificate suitable for framing.

What Safe Swimming Beaches students have said about the course:

A wealth of knowledge about the design and operation of beaches presented with a good blend of common knowledge sense and humor. [Safe Swimming] Beaches is a must for Aquatic Administrators."

The most comprehensive training we have ever had on the subject. The sharing of real life experiences by both the facilitator and the attendees was extremely valuable. I highly recommend [Safe Swimming] Beaches for anyone providing beach services, whether they be public or private."

Whether you're a lifeguard, aquatic director, or recreation manager, Safe Swimming Beaches will highlight key safety standards for operating your waterfront facility. Compare your swimming beach to others across the nations, and see how you measure up."

This is a course with vital information for anyone with the responsibility of a beach. The risk management information alone is of value, but there is so much more. After the [Safe Swimming] Beaches course, I was able to clearly look at problems of water quality testing and signage issues that had previously been a mystery to me."
