During family time one afternoon a volunteer, Lindsay, took her boys to the local market to buy some snacks. The boys had never seen an escalator before and took turns riding it up and down, thinking it was a ride rather than a convenient way to travel between floors! Ingesting pool water is the most common means of transmission, however, there are germs that can be aerosolized and transmitted through the air, or cause infection by coming into contact with the skin. In an email I just received from Lily’s sister, Violin, she wrote, “Your coming has changed my whole family a lot! Imagine the typical family on vacation. Lily explained to me that she had told her family so much about the girls and her experience at camp that her father was interested in meeting these orphans and the Americans who cared so much about them.

Although I was dismayed that the cost of returning to china had more than doubled, still the money was provided for both my daughter and me to go.

Rather than eliminating the issue of overcrowding, additional shallow water encourages more people to cram into a pool. It was even better when the boy searched around for a plastic bag, dumped the fish and some salt water in and told us he wanted to take it home. Luckily we were able to convince him that fish are better off in the ocean. According to safety experts, slips and falls are among the leading causes of injuries in waterparks, making it essential to implement effective safety measures. In this article, aquatics safety expert, Maria Bella, AFOIT, CPOI, LGI, discusses the rapid rate at which hotel waterparks are expanding and why safety may be a secondary concern as players rush to get into the game and preserve their hard won market share of leisure and business travelers.

As pools are renovated to cater to more patrons, the deep end is often made shallow so that people can spread out and keep their heads above water. One moment, people are in waist deep water, the next moment the wave has dumped over their heads and driven them into other patrons or into the pavement. It’s the hottest trend to hit the hospitality industry in decades: to increase heads in beds, just add an indoor waterpark to a hotel. All of these issues add up to increased potential for harm. This potential for harm has led many hotel owners and management companies to seek outside help in operating their facilities.
